cjsdowg posted... Don't Trust I eye witness testimony.
The claim that eyewitness testimony is reliable and accurate is testable, and the research is clear that eyewitness identification is vulnerable to distortion without the witnesss awareness. More specifically, the assumption that memory provides an accurate recording of experience, much like a video camera, is incorrect. Memory evolved to give us a personal sense of identity and to guide our actions. We are biased to notice and exaggerate some experiences and to minimize or overlook others. Memory is malleable.

Also don't trust the police, they can lie on stand and nothing happens.

good point
my memory is not maliable. I am am exception to that rule, but it is a rule and for good reason. Most people do have unreliable and easily influenced memory. Human nature flaw :(.
You're right. Memory can't be trusted. generally, for the most part. Very frustrating.
