How Can I Protect My Rights During a Police Interrogation?

Police bring people in for questioning because they suspect them of committing a crime. They are not interested in showing that you are innocent, only in finding evidence to use against you. When you are in police custody, certain rights arise, including your right to be free from self–incrimination under the Fifth Amendment. You can safeguard your rights during this process by:

Politely requesting your attorney
Not answering any questions
Asking if you are free to leave
Not agreeing to warrantless searches
Being assertive but peaceful about these rights

What Should I Do If I’m Arrested in Anderson?

If you are arrested for a crime in Anderson, Indiana, try to stay calm. Do not resist arrest, as doing so can lead to additional charges, even if you believe you’re innocent of the charges. Exercise your right to remain silent. Police mean it when they that anything you say can be used against you, which is why they have to remind you of this right. Ask to speak to an attorney from The Criminal Defense Team, and do not say or sign anything until your lawyer gets there.

Should I Take a Plea Agreement?

Your criminal defense attorney will work hard to secure a favorable result for you. What this means will vary with each case. An exoneration or not guilty verdict is not possible in all situations. In some cases, it may be in a defendant’s best interests to plead guilty to an offense in exchange to the dismissal of some charges or a reduced sentence. Our experienced legal team can evaluate whether a particular plea deal is best for you or if your interests would be better served through a different legal strategy.
