19 Sep 2023

Your Rights Remember! Whether you are intoxicated in public, or you are in breach of the peace, you still have all of your rights, including the right to talk to a lawyer and the right to remain silent. [...] You can say: “I want to speak to a lawyer.” If you ask this, the police have to give you access to a phone to call a lawyer that you choose. [...] If you’ve already spoken to a lawyer, and the police ask you to do a lie detector test, you have the right to speak to a lawyer again. [...] If you’ve already spoken to a lawyer, and then the police ask you to be in a lineup, you have the right to speak to a lawyer again. [...] If the answer is no, the police have detained you, and you have the right to stay silent and the right to talk to a lawyer.
