Sea Shepherd's Swedish First Officer, Peter Hammarstedt, is a great example of what to do while being interrogated.

Last year, Peter was arrested when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) boarded the Sea Shepherd ship Farley Mowat in international waters. Peter, along with Captain Alex Cornelissen of the Netherlands, was charged with the "crime" of breaking the seal protection regulations by approaching, witnessing, and documenting the killing of a seal.

In Canada, it is a crime to witness or document the killing of a seal by a licensed seal killer.

Peter and Alex were each interrogated for four and a half hours.

And during that time, Peter and Alex said absolutely nothing in accordance to the rule: Nobody talks, everybody walks. They also refused to sign anything in accordance to the rule, Nobody signs, everything is fine.

(more of the story is on the YouTube page)

1. It is sickening that the Canadian government
not only supports the slaughter of seals, but goes so far as to criminalize anyone who tries to even witness it in order to continue the slaughter.

That is just grotesque and inhumane. :grr:

The crew of Sea Shepherd deserves a hell of a lot of respect. :)

3. I hope seal killers boats sink in the ice.
I hope they all freeze to death. Flame away supporters of inhumane murder for fur.

6. Maybe you should wish for the death of anyone that uses
those furs. Without a market for the fur, those people would not be out hunting them.

12. Yeah, people who buy seal fur should eat dirt too.
I kinda see the hunters like dope pushers, except that I don't think drug dealers should die.

4. Wow. It really works. Always wondered about that. Great footage.
And the RCMP pressing every possible button they could. Very impressive.

7. WOW!
I worked for a criminal defense lawyer for several years and besides a few inter city kids who had been through the "system" several times I have never seen a picture perfect interview like this...And I have watched thousands. I will say although I found huge interest in watching police interviews they can make you very angry to see how police treat people. Seriously, who does not know that. LOL!

That's right, if you don't talk to the buffoon you must be a terrorist. Very interesting.
