"The accused is innocent until proven guilty." But reality requires you to know your rights.

Right to Silence

You have the full right not to answer any questions except in the presence of your lawyer. Silence is not an admission of guilt.

Right to Attorney

In felonies, the presence of a lawyer is mandatory. The lawyer has the right to review the report and cross-examine witnesses.

Advice on Arrest

Do not sign any report without reading it. Demand to call your lawyer immediately.
