What are your thoughts on this?
Is "No comment" useful or is it an excuse just to not say anything?
To me, I don't like it when people say this all the time. It just gives off that the person being questioned has something to hide. I personally think that when it comes to what questions are asked, do your best to answer them. |

What if a person being questioned for a crime says no comment after every question despite many witnesses saying that the person being questioned was the one that committed the crime? What then? |

No one has ever answered a question of mine with ‘no comment’. |

Then it usually means they are guilty |

Exactly.
After a moment of thinking, I think that "No comment" should be used in moderation. It should only be used with questions that can't be answered and not be used with every question asked. |

Yes, means I am guilty but not got the balls to admit it |

Don't hear it much of at all, apart from televised police interrogations.
It may communicate something about both the questioner as well as the responder. Some people rightly value their privacy and there should not be a universal expectation of breaching others' privacy.
Lies are a universal human action and some people use them to deflect others - but some prefer not to.
Consider how intrusive you are being and what your motivations are. Perhaps share more yourself, if you wish to develop trust. |

It usually means the evidence is either so overwhelming they don’t want to incriminate themselves any further.
Or they don’t want to engage hoping the allegation is a little thin on evidence.
It’s in the Police Caution that they do not have to say anything so it’s perfectly ok to do so.
The court will obviously draw inference on a no comment interview however.

"If any press were to approach me about my employer then I have to adopt the ‘no comment’ line. Sometimes you have to say nothing. "
Same here.
By law I can't make any comment regarding my employer or anything related to his business.
I'd end up in prison if attributed. |

Mine is more in the event of an emergency situation or we have been in the press recently so I can’t discuss any of that. |

"Never really used it or heard it apart from on police programmes! "
True! Always hear it on those programmes. I have heard it on here so it does happen. |
