This brings me to the actual focus of today&#8217;s blog, the many myths surrounding the evidence provided by police in general criminal proceedings, as described in a paper by psychologists Kathy Pezdek &amp; Dan Reisberg, <em>Psychological Myths about Evidence in the Legal System: How Should Researchers Respond?<\/em>, to be published in the <em>Journal of Applied Research in Memory &amp; Cognition<\/em> in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article describes some of the myths that pervade the legal system. I will alert you to the myths that are listed and why it is important that we become aware that they, as it turns out, have no basis in fact. I will <em>not<\/em> reiterate the scientific literature that shows how these myths are debunked, which is the core of the scientific paper, but would go beyond the scope of a blog.

In addition, memory for stressful events, just like memory overall, can be influenced (and distorted) by post-event misinformation, so holds no special status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, then: officers suffer perceptual and memory distortions when under stress, just as civilians do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=599%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39327\" width=\"599\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=799%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 799w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1 234w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=768%2C984&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=560%2C717&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?resize=80%2C102&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.33-AM.png?w=932&amp;ssl=1 932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth #3: A Sleep Cycle after a Use-of-force Incident Improves Memory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many policy proposals supported by state legislatures and police unions that there should be a &#8220;cooling off period&#8221; after the use of force before questioning the involved officer, periods trending in length from 72 hours to 10 days. Often this proposal is part of a policy termed the &#8220;police officers&#8217; bill of rights.&#8221; The claim is that this delay will <em>improve<\/em> memory, in addition to helping the officer regain composure and get some rest. This stands in conflict with what the evidence shows: delayed reporting is inferior to reporting immediately after an event. Memory fades, folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, delay in reporting creates a risk that the officer (or any other witness) will encounter information that can merge with their original memory, undermining memory accuracy. Confusing the source from which you gained knowledge is also enhanced with he passage of time.&nbsp;Even if one did not eye these proposals suspiciously as a tool for the involved officers to get their act together and prepare and coordinate testimony, the suggested delay will hurt not help the finders of fact and the legal proceedings in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=557%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39328\" width=\"557\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=742%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 742w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=217%2C300&amp;ssl=1 217w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=768%2C1060&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=560%2C773&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?resize=80%2C110&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.51.30-AM.png?w=868&amp;ssl=1 868w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth #4: Double-Blind Lineups are Unnecessary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For photographic lineups, a double-blind procedure is one in which the lineup is administered by someone not involved in the investigation, so that neither the administrator nor the witness is told which photo shows the police suspect.

In other words, they, too, should be asked to identify culprits using the double-blind procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=568%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39330\" width=\"568\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=757%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 757w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1 222w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=768%2C1039&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=560%2C758&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?resize=80%2C108&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.53.08-AM.png?w=918&amp;ssl=1 918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=589%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39332\" width=\"589\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=785%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 785w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=230%2C300&amp;ssl=1 230w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=768%2C1002&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=560%2C731&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?resize=80%2C104&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.54.04-AM.png?w=926&amp;ssl=1 926w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=624%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39336\" width=\"624\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=832%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=244%2C300&amp;ssl=1 244w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=768%2C946&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=560%2C689&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?resize=80%2C98&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.55.33-AM.png?w=986&amp;ssl=1 986w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth #5: Viewing BWC Footage Does Not Contaminate Officers\u2019 Memory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After using force, law enforcement officers are asked to write a report, describing the episode. In many jurisdictions, police insist that they should write the report only after reviewing their body worn camera videos. Any suggestion to the contrary has been strongly rejected by police organizations. This refusal ignores the data that show how memory accuracy is contaminated by seeing the video. It provides the officers with actually-not-remembered information, and this information is simply absorbed into their eventual \u201cmemory\u201d report \u2013 exactly the pattern expected based on decades of research on post-event suggestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=661%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39335\" width=\"661\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=881%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 881w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=258%2C300&amp;ssl=1 258w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=768%2C893&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=560%2C651&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?resize=80%2C93&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.heuermontage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-01-at-6.52.18-AM.png?w=1060&amp;ssl=1 1060w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth #6: Police Officers Can Accurately Detect Deception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a widespread notion that police officers are trained to detect liars and are better than your average civilian at doing so. Just for the record: we are all pretty lousy at detecting deception: on average not much better than tossing a coin. Law enforcement officers are not much better in their performance &#8211; but do assume that they are. Their confidence levels in their ability to detect lies stand in little correlation to their actual abilities.

Educating judges, attorneys, jurors and the police themselves seems important to avoid false conclusions that decide people&#8217;s fate. These myths are also often reflected in policy documents that govern both law enforcement and legal procedures.
