The Right To Remain Silent When Questioned By Police

You must remember that you have the right to remain silent. This is possibly the most important right you have in the face of a police investigation. If the police arrest you, speaking to them can make the situation worse. If the police try to ask you to clear up some confusion, it can make the situation worse.

You have been taught to be helpful to police, but that is almost always going to end up worse for you. Staying silent and asking for legal representation is the first step to protecting your freedom and future.

When Can Police Search My Home Or Car?

Police can search your home or car under two conditions. The first scenario is if they have a warrant, signed by a judge. Police acquiring a warrant must present evidence to the judge of the likelihood of evidence that a crime was committed. This is a major part of an investigation, but warrants are limited in scope, and it is always wise to review any warrant the police present you.

The second scenario in which police may conduct a search is if they have probable cause. Probable cause means they have a strong suspicion of criminal activity. Police have wide authority to conduct searches provided there is probable cause, but that authority is not limitless. If you are facing a search, the wisest course of action is to stand back and take notes, staying silent and contacting legal counsel immediately.

First Contact With Your Criminal Defense Attorney

Your first contact with a defense attorney should be as soon as possible after police have arrested you or talked to you. If you are calling from jail or lockup, it is vital to provide your attorney with everything you know about your charges and the police department. Finally, once you’ve made contact with representation, let the attorney take the lead. Discuss only what the attorney asks, answer only their questions, volunteer no information. There is always a strong chance that police may be monitoring your call, and they have no problem with using your words against you.

Putting Our Experience To Work For You

We have more than 30 years of combined experience protecting individuals in Orlando and throughout the region against capital charges. Our principal attorney is a former prosecutor. We have a thorough understanding of how the opposition pursues murder offenses. And we have a thorough understanding of how to cast doubt on their arguments.
