Rockers rule Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 7 minutes ago, Delayed said: Don't do anything to get arrested and you don't need to worry about it Exactly! but what if you are wrongly accused - would it be time to 'worry' then. Get a solicitor every time - take their advice. Thinking your being helpful doesn't always work to your advantage. 2 minutes ago, The_DADDY said: People who don't do anything to get arrested get arrested all the time.

No longer did your right to silence be a defence I’m not sure silence would be considered a defence. I would think it’s more akin to not giving the shooting squad any ammunition which may be used against you. I believe in our justice system, there is an assumption of innocence, and it’s up to the prosecution to demonstrate your guilt. Anything you say, can be used against you (taken out of context, misrepresented, whatever); I don’t think it’s the case that anything you say to the police can be used *for* you. Found this quite interesting, even the police recommend not saying anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Be interested to hear from actual qualified legal professionals on the matter. Specifically similarities / differences between UK and US justice systems, and how relevant advice given in video, may be in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
