What to Do When Questioned by Law Enforcement – Legal Minute Episode 1
Many New Yorkers are unaware of the rights they have as citizens. If you are questioned by law enforcement, there are four very important points to remember.
First, you have the right to remain silent. So remain silent. Anything you say will only help them build a case is built against you.
Second, don’t panic. Don’t be intimidated. Ask them for ID. Tell them your attorney will contact them.
Third, leave your ego behind. Don’t be arrogant and don’t assume you can talk your way out of the situation. You won’t be able to.
Fourth, hire a criminal defense lawyer. He or she can do more to effectively protect you than anyone else.
