Contacted by police for an interview? What you do matters.
→ If you haven’t been arrested, you have the right to decline to participate in the interview
→ You have the right to remain silent beyond confirming your legal identity
→ You have the right to have a lawyer present before and during questioning
→ Anything you say can be used as evidence — even if you think it’s helping your case
Being asked to ‘come in for a chat’ is not casual — it’s an investigative step, and these rights apply from the outset, regardless of whether charges have been laid.
If you or someone you know has been contacted by police, our criminal law team is available for urgent consultations.
