Legal requirements of interrogation

 The statement of the subject must be obtained voluntary and trustworthy and not by means or use
of threat, fear, coertion,duress or any improper tactics which will vitiate the free will of the
subject. Remember RA 7438.
INTERROGATTION TECHNIQUES

 Emotional Appeal - place the subject in the proper frame of mind. Analyze the
subject’s personality and decide what motivation would prompt him to tell the
truth, then provide those motives through appropriate emotional appeals.
 Sympathetic appeal - the suspect may feel the need for symphaty or friendship.
He is apparently in trouble. Gesture of friendship may win his cooperation.
 Kindness - The simplest technique is to assume that the suspect will confess if he
treated in a kind and friendly manner.
 Extenuation- The investigator indicates he does not consider his subject’s indis
creation a grave offense.
 Shifting the blame- The interrogator makes clear his belief that the subject is
obviously not the sort of person who usually get mixed up in a crime like this.
Bluff on a split pair

 This is applicable when there are more than one suspect. The suspect are
separated and one is informed that other has talked.
Pretense of physical Evidence

 The investigator may pretend that certain physical evidence has found by
labarotory experts against him.
Jolting

 May be applied to calm and nervous subject. By constantly observing the suspect,
The investigator chooses a propitious moment to shout a pertinent question and
appear as thought he is beside himself with rage. The subject may be unnerved to
the extend of confessing.
