Exercising Your Rights
As an American citizen, it is your constitutional right that you do not have to answer the police to gather evidence against you. Your lawyers also do not have to help the police to gather evidence against you. It is the police and the prosecutor’s job to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt. Furthermore, the right to remaining silent is precious to us because, far too often, innocent statements made by the accused, can still be used against them. Statements that may be completely innocent, might be used to corroborate a case against them when joined up with other evidence and testimony. It is not your obligation to speak to the police. It is your obligation to be cooperative and polite, but you have the constitutional right to remain silent. Exercise that right and protect your liberty.
