Lol, I know of one cop who would interview subjects and before they started he'd set a tape recorder down and push record. Then later when they got a little tongue tied because they were obv guilty as hell and trying to lie, he'd say something like, "Ok it's clear you're not thinking your story through clearly here, let's go off the record and then just chat between ourselves," and then shut the tape recorder off. Meanwhile the entire interview is being video recorded by like six cameras and maybe ten microphones -- i mean, it's a police interrogation room ffs -- but the perps fell for it pretty much every time.
