What happens if I'm Arrested?
Don’t panic! Just remember our key advice:
Make “NO COMMENT” to all questions. There is no such thing as a friendly chat with a police officer. Everything you say can and will likely be used as evidence. If they interview you, give a “No Comment” interview, unless under explicit advice from a good solicitor to make a written statement.
Don’t use the ‘duty solicitor’ (the one available at the police station). They often give bad advice to protesters. Use a solicitor recommended on the bust card instead.
Do not accept a caution! This is an easy win for the police. It is an admission of guilt and goes on your permanent record.
