What Information Should You Avoid Sharing With Georgetown Law Enforcement If You Are Placed Under Arrest?
Kentucky law requires you to provide basic identifying information to law enforcement. Beyond that, you have the right to remain silent. Many people think explaining their side of the story will help clear things up. In reality, statements made during an arrest often become the prosecution’s strongest evidence.
You must give officers your name and show identification when requested. However, you do not need to answer questions about where you were, what you were doing or who you were with. You are not required to consent to searches of your vehicle, home or belongings. Politely declining to answer questions is not suspicious. It is your constitutional right.
Even seemingly innocent details can be twisted to support criminal charges. What you say can be taken out of context or misremembered by officers. Our skilled Kentucky criminal defense lawyers know how to challenge evidence and statements that were improperly obtained.
