You Have The Right Not To Talk To The Police
Police are very good at getting people to talk. That’s what they are trained to do.
You have a constitutional right to refuse to give an interview or to talk to the police. The exercise of this constitutional right can not be used against you. Even if the police promise that they won’t arrest you and are very nice to you, you have the right to remain silent and consult with an attorney. Very rarely is it in your best interest to submit to a police interview. Despite what most police officers say, they are not merely trying to get your side of the story. They are looking for evidence to file charges against you. Often the only real evidence that the police will get against you is your own statement. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. If the police contact you, you need to contact Andrew H. Boros, attorney at law before you speak to them. This isn’t always easy, as most of us want to cooperate. The most important thing that you can do is to not to speak to the police. CONSULT ME FIRST. I will contact the police on your behalf. Nothing I say can be used against you in court. All statements you make to me are completely confidential.
If you believe that the police are investigating you contact me immediately to get professional advice. There may be things that I can do for you to prevent you from being arrested and prevent charges from being filed. By me doing an investigation right away may prove that you are being falsely accused. Letting me act on your behalf with law enforcement is very important. It can often prevent you from being arrested or if you are to be arrested, not to be arrested at your home or workplace. Talk to me as I know the system.
Nothing I say to the police can be used against you in court. All discussions we have are completely confidential and protected by the “attorney-client privilege”.
Andrew Boros, Esq
Florida Attorney at Law
