Six steps. Follow them exactly.
1
Say clearly: "I am invoking my right to remain silent."
2
Say clearly: "I want a lawyer. I will not answer questions without a lawyer present."
3
Then STOP TALKING. Do not explain. Do not argue. Do not try to prove your innocence now.
4
Do not consent to any search. Say: "I do not consent to a search."
5
Remember officer names and badge numbers if possible.
6
At your first opportunity — call family, a friend, or legal aid immediately.
What NOT to do
Do NOT answer questions — even casual, friendly ones
Do NOT lie to police (this is often a separate offence)
Do NOT resist physically, even if the arrest seems unlawful
Do NOT sign anything without a lawyer present
Do NOT post anything on social media
