No attorney can replace the value of you knowing your rights and asserting them from the beginning to the end of a police contact. Police may try to convince you that cooperating with them will result in some sort of leniency, but this is a lie. It will only get you into more trouble by helping the police build a case against you.
Whether you are a citizen of the United States or not, or if whether you are an adult or minor, you have the same constitutional rights:
- The Right to Remain Silent
- The Right to Refuse to be Searched without a Warrant
- The Right to Walk Away, if You Are Not Detained
