Riley’s mother, Sandra Stratton, said she wasn’t informed or invited to sit in when officials “interrogated” her daughter. She did say the school called that morning to discuss the parent’s complaint about the sex-talk message with her son.“They never once told me they were going to bring her into the room and demand her Facebook password,” Sandra said.

Indeed the terms interview and interrogation are of used interchangeably by investigators, depending upon the audience being addressed. While testifying in court, the investigator inevitably describes his conversation with the defendant as an “interview.” This is so even if it lasted four hours and clearly involved repeated accusations of guilt. Interview: a free-flowing, nonaccusatory meeting or discussion used to gather information. Interrogation: an accusational interaction with a suspect, conducted in a controlled environment, designed to persuade the suspect to tell the truth. Inbau, Fred E., Reid, John E., Buckley Joseph P., Jayne, Brian C. Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogation and Confessions. Page 3.

Superintendent Greg Schmidt & School Board Chair Jim Peters are relying on lies of omission to illegally withholding public data From Nemmers, aren't they? They are, aren't they?


 Lies of omissions = Half-truths, limited truths and truths out of context, don't they? They do, don't they?


Superintendent Greg Schmidt's & School Board Chair Jim Peters' tactic of using lies of omissions means that they are not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it?


Petty dictators and common criminals use the tactic of lies of omission, don't they? They do, don't they?


Superintendent Greg Schmidt's & School Board Chair Jim Peters are petty dictators and common criminals, aren't they? They are, aren't they?


You wouldn't feel safe sending your precious, little child to a school that was run by petty dictators and common criminals, would you? You wouldn't, would you?

In Minnesota we're sort of in this transition because we've been recording interrogations now for about 15 years. We're sort of in a transition from the Reid approach to this investigative interviewing approach. Real Interrogation: What actually happens when cops question kids. By Barry C. Feld, Centennial Professor of Law, University of Minnesota. Lecture delivered February 14, 2013 at Arizona State University – School of Criminology and Criminal Justice.


I realize the name is the “Reid Technique of Interview and Interrogation”, but we, as school personnel, do not claim to interrogate anyone. We interview, we ask a lot of questions, we investigate, we make every attempt to follow the Reid technique to the letter; however, we do not call what we do interrogation. Interrogation stirs up mental pictures of smoke-filled rooms, bright lights, and other negative images portrayed in movies and on TV. The last thing you want going around your school/community is that the Deans/VP in your school interrogate students. It may be more palatable to describe what we do after initial interview as an effort to clarify an inconsistencies or discrepancies in the information that the student has given us.

"It is always cleaner when law enforcement handles that," said Akers, former high school principal in Lexington who denied that principals in Kentucky intentionally collaborate with police to evade Miranda requirements. Court considers Miranda warning in Kentucky schools - The case could require school officials to issue the warning when questioning a student with a school resource officer present. by Andrew Wolfson, The (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal 10:46 p.m. EST November 13, 2012.


American police have minimized the impact of Miranda by successfully adapting to it (Leo and White, 1999). They have developed multiple strategies to avoid, circumvent, nullify and sometimes violate Miranda and its invocation rules in their pursuit of confession evidence. Richard A. Leo, Police Interrogation and American Justice, (Cambridge: 2008), Page 123-124.


… a school official working with the police on a case involving a criminal offense, the police failing to give Miranda warnings, and the juvenile being in custody, are subject to suppression.

Minnewaska Area High School (MAHS) is just an indoctrination camp run by criminals, isn't it? It is, isn't it?


The criminals at MAHS want to indoctrinate the tender young minds of lawless Pope County into believing that there are two different sets of laws, don't they? They do, don't they?

While testifying in court, the investigator inevitably describes his conversation with the defendant as an “interview.” Fred E. Inbau, John E. Reid, Joseph P. Buckley, Brian C. Jayne, Criminal Interrogation and Confessions, 4th Ed., page 5.
