The moments following an arrest are the most critical. The actions you take can determine your freedom. You are likely feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.
In Ontario, you have fundamental rights under the Charter. Two of the most important are the right to silence and the right to counsel. These are your strongest tools.
The police are trained to build a case against you. They may act friendly or sympathetic to encourage you to talk. You are not required to provide a statement or an explanation.
Anything you say can be used in court. Even small details can be taken out of context. The best response is to state clearly that you wish to remain silent.
