While you can tell the police your name, address, date of birth and other identifying information, you DON’T have to answer questions about any alleged crime or where you were when it happened. Don’t answer any questions or make any statements about your case to the police or the District Attorney (DA). Don’t sign any prepared statements. Tell the police you want a lawyer whether they read your rights or not.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can outsmart the police or that they will release you if you talk to them. You might be worried that hiring an attorney will make you look guilty, but this is a myth. Politely and calmly tell the police that you don’t wish to answer questions without speaking to your lawyer first.
