In 2022, we published 2,000 french and 2000 german copies of the first edition of our book “ How to defend yourself during a police interrogation. ” Since then, the content of our practical guide has continued to spread, taking many forms, such as a workshops we conduct, an “interrogation” supplement for the role-playing game Blade in the Dark and translations into English , and Spanish . The book has now also been reissued in French by Éditions du Commun under the title “ A Short Guide to Self-Defense During Interrogations, ” as well as an audiobook version , a radio spot , a self-print brochure version on infokiosques.net , and posters illustrating the “ broken record ” strategy.

Preface to the English version

In summer 2022, 2000 copies of this book were printed in French and 2000 in German . The french version is now sold out, and the Publisher « Éditions du Commun » had now reissued the book.

The book was written with the intention of serving as a tool of self-defense against the manipulative interrogation strategies employed by the police. As stated in the introduction, “ It addresses readers in various countries in which legislation may differ“. And indeed, we soon received feedback that the content conveyed by the book is equally applicable to countries such as Turkey, Morocco, Serbia, Italy, Denmark, and many more. And soon a number of supportive people were offering to translate the book into other languages. This is what happened with the English version, and we’d like to take this opportunity to warmly thank our translator and proofreader for their fine work.
