Don't do anything to get arrested and you don't need to worry about it

 

 

Exactly! but what if you are wrongly accused - would it be time to 'worry' then.

Get a solicitor every time - take their advice. 

Thinking  your  being helpful doesn't always work to your advantage.

No longer did your right to silence be a defence

I’m not sure silence would be considered a defence. I would think it’s more akin to not giving the shooting squad any ammunition which may be used against you.

 

I believe in our justice system, there is an assumption of innocence, and it’s up to the prosecution to demonstrate your guilt. Anything you say, can be used against you (taken out of context, misrepresented, whatever); I don’t think it’s the case that anything you say to the police can be used *for* you.

 

Found this quite interesting, even the police recommend not saying anything...

This is barely relevant, unless you are in the USA.  

I would always take the advice of a solicitor.  USA law graduates not included 😁

46.35 mins.

I don't think I got two minutes in   Anymore and the gob shi*e would have had me admitting I was the mystery man on the grassy knoll and responsible for killing JFK   .

Be interested to hear from actual qualified legal professionals on the matter. Specifically similarities / differences between UK and US justice systems, and how relevant advice given in video, may be in the UK.

Better not to get arrested.  And the way to do that is to observe the law. It is not that difficult.

Doing nothing wrong doesn't mean your exempt from arrest or being questioned by the police, it's the law 🤣.

The police caution should always, or usually, be followed by the question; 'Do you understand?' Their reply will always be recorded in the officers notebook, or recorded on whatever body device they're using these days. We've all seen those Police Interceptor type programmes where they do not understand that they've nicked a car and driven without due care and attention, no insurance, etc, at 110 mph through the quiet streets of Toytown...sort of shows their mentality. I think after the caution the officer is then not allowed to further question the suspect, as that would be deemed an illegal interview, until, obviously the interview thats recorded at the nick.
