Your Right to Remain Silent: Lawyer Explains What REALLY Happens During Arrests

In today’s episode, we sit down with criminal lawyer Julianne to break down one of the most important legal topics: What should you do if the police arrest you?

Many people panic, say the wrong things, or feel pressured to “explain themselves.” But legally, that can lead to big problems. In this episode, we go step-by-step through what happens during an arrest, what the police MUST tell you, what your rights are, and the common mistakes people make that can harm their case.

🔍 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• You ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, and it CANNOT be used against you.
• Do not resist arrest, even if you know you’re innocent — it’s a separate criminal offence.
• Body-worn camera footage is real evidence, not a casual conversation.
• You are not automatically guilty just because you were arrested.
• In serious cases, police may issue a “special caution,” but only in the presence of a lawyer.
