Body language is a thing that can be used to get information but it's very subjective. I've known people that were habitual liars who would close their eyes when lying. But I've known other liars that will look you in the eye and almost plead with you to believe them.
The problem for me when you cite body language is that when someone asked you to explain what you were seeing and how you interpreted it you said that "it's hard to explain," or something like that. It shouldn't be hard to explain. There are videos about it on youtube and whether or not they are accurate they do explain their ideas.
If you can't explain it then you don't understand it. What you would really need to do to be convincing or credible is to choose a video of a person that is "telling the truth" and then what you're seeing at different time stamps that make you believe it. Even better would be to choose one where someone is lying and explain how you know.
Body language is a changing thing so you'd have to choose a specific video. And I don't think he's particularly honest so probably not the best subject.
that is your impression. It's not saying "when he opens his arms wide at 00:33 he is showing warmth." See the difference? It's not about how it makes you feel. You have to say why and give an example.
I've seen interrogations and have usually known by body language if the interviewee is truthful or not, but again I can't explain it without you sitting here watching interrogation footage with me.

no, no, no, because you can find the interrogation footage on youtube and it's all time-stamped. So you can say, "when they cross their arms at this question they have something to hide."
I've watched interrogations too and the main problem is that you usually know if the person was guilty already. But they are interesting. It's something I'm very interested in.
I think it's good to trust your intuition but you also have to realize that you're fallible and you have to test it. Since you read about crimes you know that the cops often believe they have the right person when they don't and so they quit investigating. Because of this the person that actually did the crime sometimes gets away with it.
Part of it is that they don't have the budget they should to investigate things perfectly but the other problem is that they just believe they are right.
