Important &
Useful Information
Answering Police Questions
The general position is that you do not have
to answer police questions. There are some important exceptions. As
a matter of common sense, if you are asked questions by police about
a simple matter of which you are obviously innocent, it is probably
a good idea to answer their questions. In other situations, speak to
a lawyer first. In particular, if the police want to record an
interview with you on tape or video, always say you want to speak to
a lawyer first.
Arrest
A person is arrested when police
deprive him of his liberty, regardless of the words used. A person
is arrested when police make it plain to him that he is not free to
leave if he chooses. When a person is confronted at his home by
armed police, an arrest may occur unless police indicate that the
person is free to leave.
