Why you must never attend a police interview without a solicitor
Many people believe that if they have nothing to hide, they should answer police questions without a lawyer. This is a mistake. Police interviews are designed to gather evidence for a potential prosecution. What you say – even if you are innocent – can be used against you. A solicitor ensures you understand your rights, avoids traps, and will advise you on the best options open to you in the PACE interview.
At the police station, David Roy will:
- Insist on seeing the disclosure before you are interviewed
- Advise you whether to answer questions or give a prepared statement
- Stop the interview if the police ask improper questions
- Challenge any attempt to delay your release or deny you bail
- Arrange free advice – there is no cost to you
Your rights under PACE
Under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and its Codes of Practice, anyone detained at a police station has the right to free legal advice before and during interview, the right to have someone informed of their arrest, and the right to silence – you do not have to answer police questions. The police caution – “You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.” – underlines why legal advice before speaking is essential. David Roy advises clients on whether to answer questions, give a prepared statement, or make no comment in interview. The police caution – "You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court" – underlines why legal advice before speaking is essential.
Voluntary interviews (under caution)
Even if you have not been arrested, police may invite you to a “voluntary” interview. Attendance is technically voluntary – but if you decline, the police may choose to arrest you if they have grounds to do so. You still have the right to free legal advice before and during the interview, and David will attend with you on the same basis as if you were in custody. Never go alone.
What happens after the interview?
After the interview, the police may:
- Take no further action (NFA) – the case ends
- Release you under investigation (RUI)
- Release you on bail with conditions
- Charge you and require you to appear at court
David will explain each outcome and, if you are charged, represent you at the first court hearing. See magistrates' court page →
