  1. Why It Is Important To Remain Silent When It Comes To An Arrest?

  2. People get arrested every day in Los Angeles. And when they do, things can get very complicated. Normally, they try to talk they way out of jail, without realizing that everything they say can and will compromise their case. In the majority of cases, silence is the only valid defense, as there is almost nothing that one can say to receive a “get out of jail free” card. If you ever get arrested, it is extremely important to remain silent until you speak with your attorney. Here are some of the reasons why it is extremely important to remain silent.

  3. Everything You Say Will Be Used Against You As you may or may not know, the moment you are arrested, the police officer should read you’re your rights. If they fail to do so, you can later sue them and maybe even get out of jail as you were not read your rights properly. This is called “receiving a Miranda warning”, and it is a notification that you can defend yourself with silence, as anything you say may and will be used against you.

  4. Did the police officer read you your right? Were you “Mirandized”? If not, you should contact Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and seek their legal representation. They will look into it and advise you on what to do next.

  5. Keep in mind that if you do speak with the police, it is likely that they will record your statements and use everything you said at that moment against you in the court of law. So it is for the best that you remain silent until you speak with your attorney first and receive some tips and legal advice on what you should and what you shouldn’t say to the police.

  6. Exercise Your Rights Pretending to be innocent will indeed protect you. If not from going to court, then at least from allowing the court to use your words against you. However, do not play that card every time; in fact, repeating that you are innocent and expecting the police to uncover proof of your innocence will only cause you more trouble. It can be interpreted as a sign of remorse and used against you.

  7. So once again, whether you are guilty or not, do not say much to the police, or even better, do not say anything until you speak with your attorney first.

  8. Attorneys Talk, You Listen The smartest way to go around this situation is to let your attorney speak on your behalf. They know exactly what to say and how to say it, without additionally putting you in danger. They will not jeopardize your case and will present a valid defense case with all the information they have gathered in the meantime.
