Won’t Refusing To Speak To The Police Just Make Me Look Guilty In Riverside, CA?

Posted in General FAQ'S on April 30, 2014

No. A jury never hears about that anyway, if it comes down to it.

But more important, is the fact that often times the police officer has already made up his mind about what happened and is just trying to get you to provide incriminating information.

This could be an admission to the crime itself, or even as simple as admitting to being there that day.

This is why it is best to speak with a lawyer FIRST before making ANY kind of statement to the police.
