Do you know that when arrested you have the right to remain silent?
From the moment a suspect is taken into police custody, their right to remain silent kicks in, shielding them from coercive questioning or commentary from the prosecution. The onus lies squarely on the prosecution to build a watertight case, unaided by the accused’s testimony.
Even if the law enforcement officer violates this right and forces you to make any statement without a lawyer or any other person of your choice, that statement cannot be used against you in court.
