"All of this room ever going to lie."
Based on this premise, the Commissioner of Police, Ignacio del Olmo, is a summer course at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) to demystify the lie.
As a cop, Del Olmo is daily with liars.
To do this, he says he is very useful to know how they behave when they are telling the truth in order to detect the truthful testimony.
During the opening of the course, Del Olmo has also indicated that the police have several ways to detect deception.
One is to distinguish whether there is agreement or not in the testimony, the emotions generated certain questions, as well as cognitive communication.
"Liars speak differently when they lie and when they tell the truth, know how to detect these dissonances lets you know that person is lying," he says.
However, he warns that you can know that a person is lying, "but not what goes through your head;
this is not the panacea. "
In addition to this, warning that often the phenomenon of 'scapegoats', which refers to when a person is telling the truth if you know you are not believing, behaving as if he were lying occurs.
This situation is known as the effect Otello, based on Shakespeare's drama in which Desdemona is telling the truth, but her husband does not believe her and eventually killed her.
"Be very careful with this, we constantly train to notice, although people are better liars lie detectors because we learn to lie from small and detect deception maybe not learn in life," he says.
One of the first speakers at the course has been the chief prosecutor of Cartagena, Mari Carmen de la Fuente, who has enlightened the audience about the lie in the judiciary.
In the judicial field he says you learn to "live on the razor's edge" because the frequency of lie "is very high".
Ensures that they do not form them one to find out what is true and what is not and therefore must be based on objective data and contradictions in the testimonies.
"Intuition can serve as a base, but we have no proof to convict someone, always opt for acquittal," said the chief prosecutor before clarifying that this can lead to situations of injustice "but we understand they are better than take someone to jail or convict someone when there is no evidence that proof. "
The course will last until Wednesday and it will involve politicians, police, journalists and educators to explain how it works lies in each of these areas.
