    Speak Up! - View Question #374

    printer friendly version

    Question: Do police officers have to read me my rights before questioning me? and Do you have to answer questions from a police officer?

    Answer: If a police officer asks you a question you do not have to answer. You always have the right to remain silent, in any situation. The police cannot make you answer questions.

    Legal principles require the police to inform you of your right to remain silent as you are arrested because our U.S. Supreme Court said that someone being arrested might feel like they were losing all their freedoms, not just their right to liberty (another word for being able to move around freely).

    However, you always keep your right to remain silent.

    Don't say a word unless you want to talk about the weather or sports. Do not answer any questions about the reason why you were arrested. It hurt me in court to answer one question, it cost me the case which I appealed. The cops will lie to you to get info that they can use against you in court..So SHUT UP!!!!!!
