Your Rights and Strategies: Navigating a Voluntary Police Station Interview with Makwana Solicitors’ Expertise
Being asked to attend a police interview can be a daunting experience. It’s crucial to understand your rights and the importance of seeking legal advice, particularly from experienced solicitors like Makwana Solicitors.
Here’s a guide on what you should do in such a situation.
Understanding the Voluntary Police Interview
A voluntary police interview, also known as an interview under caution, is not an arrest but is a serious matter. During this interview, you’re not under arrest and can leave at any time unless you’re arrested.
However, it’s important to note that your statements can be used as evidence, and refusing to attend can sometimes lead to an arrest .
Your Rights in a Voluntary Interview
In a voluntary interview, you have the right to:
- Leave the interview at any time, unless you’re arrested.
- Be informed about your rights, entitlements, and safeguards before the interview.
- Access independent legal advice.
- Be accompanied by an appropriate adult if you’re under 18 or a vulnerable adult.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Having legal representation is crucial. A solicitor can:
- Advise you on the process and your rights.
- Help you understand the evidence against you.
- Guide you on how to respond to questions.
- Provide support and advice after the interview, especially if further action is taken.
