THE KEY POINTS IN CASE OF ARREST:

​

• NO COMMENT
  No comment to all police questions during casual chats, 'booking in' & interviews.  At the police station you may wish to give your name, address, date of birth, and nationality to speed up your release.  For your protection and that of other people, don't answer further questions.

• NO DETAILS
  We recommend not giving personal details to the police for as long as possible. If you have been arrested and taken to the police station you may wish to give your name, address and date of birth at the custody desk to speed your release.

• WHAT POWER
  If you are asked to do something by a police officer, ask them what power (i.e. what law) they are using and why they are using it. Make a note of what was said, by whom (numbers) as soon as possible afterwards.

• NO DUTY SOLICITOR
  Duty solicitors often give bad advice to protesters; we recommend you always use a Good Solicitor who knows about protesting.

• NO CAUTION
  Cautions are an admission of guilt
  Offering you a caution is a way the police may ask you to admit guilt for an offence without having to charge you. It is an easy win for the police, as they don’t have to provide any evidence or convince a court of your guilt.
