Discuss some techniques suspects use to lie to investigators
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Liars often lie by using specifics and only admit to what the investigator can prove and deny what can't be proved. Liars sometimes focus on little, trivial things in an attempt to throw-off the investigator or misdirect the interview. Suspects may create arguments to keep interrogators unfocused. A debating tactic is used in which the suspect tries to discount the investigator's argument in advance. A repeated assertion is based on the assumption that if you say something over and over, people will start to believe it. Repeated denial of the violation only reinforces the suspect's ability to lie. The "you don't understand" tactic is used by experienced liars to block an in-depth interrogation. The "loophole" liar is a dodger who is unsure just how much the investigator knows about the crime. Loophole liars typically respond by saying, "I can't remember" or "to the best of my recollection." This technique gives the person a way out in case he or she is later confronted with contradictory evidence.

Was the search warrant valid?
Thomas was shot and injured. A friend called 911. Two officers responded to Thomas' residence, located at 3958 Balley Castle Court. While attending to Thomas the officers smelled a strong odor of marijuana inside the residence. Based upon this information, a detective with the Drug Task Force submitted an affidavit and application for a warrant to search for marijuana and drug-related documents and paraphernalia at "3958 Balley Castle Court." A magistrate granted the search warrant at 11:28 p.m., but the warrant listed the address for the search as "5365 Williams Road, Georgia, Gwinnett." The warrant did not name Thomas or any other owner or occupant. The warrant also provided that the affidavit submitted by the detective "shall not be served upon the premises—only the [search warrant] shall be served." After obtaining the search warrant the detective and the two responding officers searched Thomas' residence (3958 Balley Castle Court) early the next morning and found more than 42 pounds of marijuana.
