The Legend Of Jeff
Not to be confused with this Jeff, The Legend Of Jeff is a viral video that comes up from time to time. The main focus of the video is Jeff owning the cops, but there is a more special message within that ownage: NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE.
Story
Back in 2011, a heroin addict named Jeff Pearson tried to hold up a 7 Eleven convenience store in Georgia. When the cops got to the store, they found no suspects at the scene. While they were looking around, the police officers heard a commotion at a nearby home.
Because they were cops and think that they can do whatever they want, they busted into the home to "investigate" the disturbance. What they found was Jeff, sitting on a couch near a firearm. Jeff was a known addict and had, by his own words, "been through the system before."
That was all the cops needed. Jeff was arrested for armed robbery and hauled in for questioning.
Armed Robbery
In the state of Georgia[1], the minimum sentance for armed robbery is 10 years in prison. However, that is the minimum. If the state takes the seriousness of the crime into consideration, additional time, up to and including life, can be added to the prison term.

Interogation
Once at the police station, Jeff began going through withdrawl symptoms. The police figured that they had a slam dunk case. This guy was going to crack under the pressure of not having any heroin to feed his addiction. But Jeff had a surprise or two for the cops.
When that single question was asked and answered by the police officer as "Yes," Jeff became silent. He doesn't even answer when the cop asks if he understands the miranda rights that have been read to him. He spends the next 24 hours getting free Coca-Cola and candy from the department.
Some highlights from the interrogation:
- Lawyer?
- You look like a prick
- Git me back to muh cell, I don't talk to you mutherfuggers
- What do you need methadone for? Because I'm a fucking junky!
- You're not my friend
- You jusss wanna git me
- All you did was find me sittin in my buddy's house
- The dog was goin apeshit
- Now I want a Butterfinger
By repeatedly telling the police that he was not involved and that he would not speak to them, he subverted their ability to extract any admission of guilt from him. On top of that, Jeff tells the police several times that he wants a lawyer, yet they break the law by denying him one and continue to question him illegally.
Jeff had experienced "The Reid Technique"[2][3] in his past and understood how it's "good cop/bad cop" dynamic would not help him in any way. Rather than engage, he shut up and waited out his 24 hour holding period.
Aftermath
Jeff outlasted the police but was not released. He received a parole violation and was placed back in jail for 2 years. They finally got around to charging Jeff for the armed robbery a year and a half later, but Jeff ended up beating that rap.
Jeff's social media sites are being regularly updated. As of today, we know Jeff isn't in jail, despite the fact that he continues to antagonize the police.
