Traffic Offences FAQ - Should I answer police questions?
Date: May 20, 2011
Q. If I am arrested, should I answer any questions put to me by the police?
A. In most cases do not answer any questions apart from your name and address until you see a lawyer. The police should inform you that you have a right to contact a lawyer. Irrespective of the type of assurances you receive from the police, any answers given by you without proper legal advice may lead to the successful prosecution of the matter by the police leading to a gaol term.
