- sweet8, on 11/09/2009, -5/+94if you think like a cop, everyone is lying.
- lostarchitect, on 11/09/2009, -5/+86Let's not encourage undereducated cops to play psychologist, ok?
- Stevosaurous, on 11/09/2009, -2/+67I don't believe a word of this...
- vpendse, on 11/09/2009, -2/+51This is pretty stupid. Apparently, if you put a coffee mug between you and another person, you're lying about everything you're saying!
- fragMasterFlash, on 11/09/2009, -3/+45This is why you always ask for a lawyer. Even if you are innocent you will be nailed to wall if it makes one cops life easier.
- homercles337, on 11/09/2009, -3/+42Yep. Pretty much 100% *****.
- Mawds, on 11/09/2009, -1/+33I think someone has been watching 'Lie To Me'

} - Heaiser, on 11/09/2009, -2/+31I'm a cop... I don't think like this. (And yes, I'm aware this statement is setting myself up for some good burns.)
- DeathfireD, on 11/09/2009, -0/+27shy and nervous people do almost everything on this list so this would be moot if you're in an interview or meeting a women you like.
- howdareyou, on 11/09/2009, -3/+26If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
- relvlixd, on 11/09/2009, -1/+21I've studied deception in the past and to my knowledge the only thing they have gotten right in this article is that Paul Ekman discovered Micro expressions.
When they mentioned placement of objects between them it acts as a defensive barrier, it doesn't mean their lying, their is hundreds of other reasons.
Being defensive doesn't mean their lying. Fear of being disbelieved is the same as fear of being caught, fear is fear.
The eye diagram is partially correct, but not in all circumstances.
Verbal context is important, liars tend to have short and simple stories (easy to remember) and truth tellers usually add irrelevant detail.
"Bottom line is, be trusting, instead of taking the chance that you mistakenly disbelieve someone when in reality they are telling the truth. You'll be happier in the end." -Paul Ekman - werdywerd, on 11/09/2009, -2/+21Now I know why my girlfriend always looks left, puts a cup of coffee between us and scratches behind her ears every time she tells me "Baby you are so big" :(
- Barackalypse, on 11/09/2009, -7/+24Actually, its only everyone who isn't a cop that is lying.
- Apex3, on 11/09/2009, -0/+16That's all well and good, but if a cop thinks like this, they need to learn that people act differently around cops than they do around normal people.
I just can't stand when cops think it's suspicious when you're nervous. of course I'm ***** nervous, you're trying to give me a ticket(or more), whether I did it or not doesn't have a whole lot to do with whether I get a ticket for it. - spworm, on 11/09/2009, -1/+15Is he black?
He's got a gun! BLAM BLAM BLAM. - blackturtleus, on 11/09/2009, -0/+14The "article" is 99.9% BS, but some of these comments show that there are actually intelligent beings on this planet! This "article" is full of the kind of BS that people who are into Oprah or Dr. Phil get all excited about. It's the same kind of BS that people who actually believe that polygraphs are any more accurate than tossing a coin buy hook, line, and sinker! The "article" is depressing because it is so stupid, but some of the comments show that not everyone belongs to the mindless Oprah/Dr. Phil herd and that shows that there is some hope.
- rmxz, on 11/09/2009, -0/+13Hand movement's no clear sign of anything.
I've seen a physicist fidget with his hands like crazy when giving a lecture; and unless he was some extreme creationist I don't think he thought he was lying. - Heaiser, on 11/09/2009, -0/+11A good indicator tends to be the smell. Don't smoke it in the car and I probably won't know. I live in a state where a small amount of marijuana is a petty misdemeanor (like a traffic ticket). I generally don't care enough to hunt it out. If you're really concerned about it and for some reason must have it in the car, keep it in the trunk where I can't look without a probable cause warrant.
- Heaiser, on 11/09/2009, -2/+12I used to be a programmer, now I'm a cop. I'm printing this off and putting it on my wall. Dugg.
- elephantstomp, on 11/09/2009, -2/+11Buried as inaccurate.
- marm0lade, on 11/09/2009, -0/+9I can tell by the pixels.
- spworm, on 11/09/2009, -2/+11Unless they're very good at it. Then they become billionaires or influential politicians, and ***** on the dreams of honest people like you.
- appleseed1234, on 11/09/2009, -2/+11Thinking like a cop flowchart:
Is he lying? -> Yes -> Tase
Is he on the ground? -> Yes/No -> Tase again - Jeepinator, on 11/09/2009, -1/+9Your lying what?
- newl, on 11/09/2009, -1/+9The solution is really to hire The Lightman Group.
- charlietuna, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7 I read that cops do worse than average in detecting lies.
- kaosethema, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7or you can use scare tactics and sensory deprivation until they sign a confession to a crime they didn't commit...
- T8erT0T, on 11/09/2009, -2/+9Today is the day I won't make an easy joke about cops and the ability to think.
- mike23w, on 11/09/2009, -1/+7You're a genius.
/Moves cup between me and vpendse - fnic, on 11/09/2009, -1/+7The writer was lying for sure. I can tell by their eyes and face.
- TrevorPace, on 11/09/2009, -1/+6So wait if the person is a 130year old man you want to sexually harass them?
- Rockyn, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Or else they are lying about that.
- TheCollective00, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm Sicilian. My father was the world heavy-weight champion of Sicilian liars. From growing up with him I learned the pantomime. There are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give himself away. A guys got seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen... but, if you know them, like you know your own face, they beat lie detectors all to hell. Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin', but you're tellin me everything. I know you know where they are, so tell me before I do some damage you won't walk away from.
- peteyb1313, on 11/09/2009, -4/+8woah slow down there, you are implying there are educated cops, dont be silly.
- niradg, on 11/09/2009, -0/+4I really like the 3rd photo in this article. Anyone know where it's from?
- LEfan, on 11/09/2009, -2/+6Because cops aren't everyones' friend the way firefighters are. Cops have the authority that everyone fears, therefore, they lie.
- CanIGetAWitness, on 11/09/2009, -1/+5Nice one Jeep, but I don't think he'll get it, so...
You're lying - rmxz, on 11/09/2009, -1/+4Are you sure in this context:
"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a skull"
wouldn't fit better? - aceallways, on 11/09/2009, -2/+5The single comment is so true!
Hey, it's William Shatner (circa Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)! - Ben - kestermatsumoto, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3"...keep their bodies close to themselves"
"...there's a lot more tell tale signs"
"...keeping track of their facial expressions is just, if not more important"
Yes I'm being an irritating grammar Nazi, but I wish people would learn how to write. - Jeff901, on 11/09/2009, -1/+4So, now that you can tell if someone is lying, what do you do about it?
NOTHING. Let them go in their lies..EVERY lier will eventually hang themselves with their own lies.......just sit back and watch the fun unfold. - vanguardanon, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3As I was reading this I was thinking, "This is 100% horse *****." However, your response works for me as well.
- Lefts, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3Yeah, sure.
- lurrch1, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3And if they float they're a witch, but if they sink.... well it doesn't matter anyways.
- CanIGetAWitness, on 11/09/2009, -2/+5I'm a donut...
- dsfjvhbd, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3Right in the first paragraph the same nonsense as always:
nervous/uncomfortable -> lying
calm/comfortable -> telling the truth
This remains nonsense no matter how often it gets repeated. - iDiggYa, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2***** you I almost spit Coke all over the keyboard!
- thcobbs, on 11/09/2009, -1/+3"Paul Ekman has sound countless times that more often than not, "gut feelings" are wrong."
If the times are countless.... how can you tell which happens more? -
