When a detective calls...
- Thread starter Tweexican

yep, get a good lawyer if you dont already have one....then i would call the cop station and ask for the detective in question(to see if he exists and its not a prank), then i would ask him whats this all about? why has he been calling me?
then after he tells me and then tries to question me, i would siply say "im sorry but my lawyer advised me not to answer any of your questions and that you may contact him to get any further info"
this is the best way because if it is real, by you calling him and asking him the questions he will answer you thinking you are ready to talk.....the trick is to interrogate them.
its like a game of chess, you can easily out smart them, they are just another human in a blue suit...
BTW-if it is real and there is something going on i would shut down anything and everything you got going on until this clears up
if its scammers..... http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/25750817/detail.html
might be happening elsewhere than in colorado......

I've had detectives call me during the course of an investigation that had nothing to do with me other than the fact that I knew the guilty parties. Of course, I didn't know wtf was going on until I actually went down to the station to answer some questions, but I'm pretty sure freaking out or acting sketchy would have caused me more trouble in the long run, and possibly would have put a radar on me that wouldn't be otherwise even though I knew absolutely nothing about the crime.
well i've seen 'em wear grey from time to time.....
Yeah call 'em and lawyer up. don't change your number till you get information.
Pretend for a minute you aren't doing anything of dubious nature.
Now ask your-non-sketchy-self what your-non-sketchy-self would do.
Act normal like a normal person...
And then jettison all your gear, put your phone in the garbage disposal, and run for the hills.
'Normal' people scare the fuck out of me.
They should scare the fuck out of you.
They are complicit in infinite acts of illegal, immoral and inexcusable violence across the world.
They absolutely should not be listened to, for any reason, except--maybe, in rare circumstances--to guide you towards the opposite.

Or ask your caps. They might know. Fungus know lots of things with all their underground networking and shit.

If a detective called and left messages for you I would:
Cross reference his name with the respective department/city/state website. It will be listed. If the name is not, chances are its fake.
Web search the phone number, see who it belongs to ect.
Call him back! What do you have to hide, you are innocent until proven guilty. Remeber it is your right to REMAIN SILENT and not incriminate yourself.
Lastly, police will sometimes call beforehand if they want to talk to you. They don't always have the time or gumption to drop what they are doing and drive out to where you may or may not live (my last known addy is outdated by 10 years...).

lie in wait and ambush the cocksucker!
then wake up and implement the plan...
I hate cops...

Detectives call people...I have talked to detectives more than 3 different times in cases that didn't involve me - it's not something to worry about unless you know it's about you.
Edit: I'm astounded at everyone's responses in here lol. Just because a detective calls you doesn't mean you have to get a lawyer or start freaking out.
An example of a detective calling me: my sister was in a passenger in a DUI accident - I was called to answer some a few brief questions about my sister/the driver and to tell my sister she needs to call the detective...Another was when a friend passed away from methadone/xanax overdose. The detectives called essentially everyone he knew that was in their 20s to ask 3 or 4 questions of (trying to see if you acted nervously on the phone IMO, wanted to find out who supplied) but this doesn't mean I fucked up or that I'm in trouble. It just means you are somehow connected to someone involved in a crime. It does not necessarily "put you on the radar" or mean you are guilty of anything.

Some of the people on here have such terrible advice.
Change phone number? Jesus.
Don't be a pussy. Changing the phone number and hiding is stupid. The cop will assume you are guilty and push even harder.
When he called the first time you should of asked what it is he is investigating, what his name is, what office he is based out of, and what he is trying to find out. If he refuses to answer some of your questions, who cares?
The fact that he called twice means either you fucked up when talking to him the first time, or they are convinced you did something wrong. Either way, if it was me, I would certainly consider taking anything potentially incriminating out of the house until you are sure nothing is wrong.
At this point if I were you I would call back the number, and specifically ask what is up, confirm it is actually a cop, find out information..
Your phone was involved how? What did he want when he called? Did he say he was coming to get you? Did he ask you to come "downtown". Can't really tell you what to do if you don't tell us what was asked of you. Did he just call and say "I am a detective, your phone was involved in an investigation" and then hang up? I am drunk and confused, please fill in some gaps here.

Don't panic. (And always know where your towel is.)
Don't panic. (And always know where your towel is.)
Sounds pretty simple, really.
Assuming this "detective" is a bona fide LEO representative (did he flash his badge? or give you his business card? or was this strictly a phone call?), then you might assume that someone you are acquainted with has come under scrutiny, and LEO is checking phone contacts, broadening their net. Try calling that number back at 7:00 AM or 4:00 PM (LEO shift change?) and see if someone else answers the phone. "Sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number."
If this detective is calling from a cell phone, he might even be sitting outside your residence, looking to "flush" a potentially guilty party, along with incriminating evidence. It's easier to search a person on the street or in their auto, than obtaining a search warrant based upon a tenuous hunch. If the detective had enough evidence to get a warrant, you would likely have already been raided. Sounds like this guy is on a fishing expedition, imho.
Be cool. When driving, watch out for potential tails. If you don't park your auto in a locked garage, take your auto to a coin-op car wash and check for gps trackers. When not using your cell phone, keep it turned off. If your cell phone is a feature-rich 3G, set up a multi-layer foil bag to keep it in when traveling. Avoid your usual business and travel patterns if possible. And if this detective calls again, don't be rude -- politely put him off due to a pending call, get his number, and promise to call him back. If that call should come again, I would recommend tidying up around your home, but without removing evidence into the open / public. And it wouldn't hurt to have a lawyer's name & number handy, just in case.
Good luck, be careful out there, and don't panic -- that's when mistakes are made.

Whatever you do don't call back the pig unless you know you are not the target of the investigation. Let the dude leave messages until you know where you stand. Reason being that if it you under investigation then you could be giving away what the pigs need to arrest you, get a search warrant, or talk yourself into being the center of attention.
The less you make yourself avaliable to the cops the better. Just remember you are under no obligiation to talk to the pigs. If the pigs really wish to talk to you, they will find you and there will be no bullshit about "going downtown". They will put you in a car and take you to where ever they wish, be it uptown or down town,, and they will hold you for as long as they legally can before either having to charge you or let you go.

Lol, you guys need to smoke some more and relax. I've had a detective call me once regarding a stolen piece of property that they seized from some robbery ring, which had been stolen from me! I was pretty impressed, he even brought it back to my house lol. All I'm saying is that a call from po po doesn't mean anything. Call him back and if THEN you feel thats something isn't right - tear down or whatever.

very good info ^^^^^^^^
also get a lawyer and clean house just like everyone else says.
Like I've stated before many times on here....
police work is @ 60-70% head games, the rest real police work.
90% or more bust and convictions comes from OUR own stupidity. lawyer up and don't let them intimidate you in any way. Once you show weakness they got ya.
EDIT: On the cell phone aspect mentioned above.....If not using it don't just turn it off but remove the battery as well. Although they can't pinpoint exactly where your at, they can get a general area because your phone is still 'logged' into the towers if turned off but the battery is still inside. Some will cry BS, but yes they can and it's been proven. Which is why I hate cell phones. The cell companies months ago admitted that a lot of the apps installed on phones lately can/will pull ALL your info from the phone which they in turn sell to marketer's.
Just proves that the more we become 'advanced' in technology, the more we are shooting ourselves in the foot and the more freedoms we are giving up. Remember Orwells 'Big Brother is watching you'. And it's being proven more and more everyday.

What would a law abiding citizen do in this situation?
Thats the answer to this riddle....Like others have stated, just cause a detective calls you , does not mean its about you.....I for one, would not hide out, and go underground cause some fucking cop was calling me about God knows what....That action has guilty writen all over it.....
And why the fuck would you start a thread and then not follow through with it to the end....
Better yet, go hide in the woods for a few months....that will shake 'em.

Yeah Excatly! That is fucking LAME-O!
when dealing with cops you should always have a lawyer on hand, and dont day shit.....
if the cops stop you while driving and ask you " where you going? where you comming from?"
my response is simple--" do you have a warrant? then sorry i have nothing to say to you, if you want to talk you can contact my lawyer" and thats it...they dont really fuck with you after they find out you got a good lawyer
