If you have been arrested, it is important that you understand your rights and how they affect you. All individuals charged with a crime have the same fundamental rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Upon arrest, some of the most important of your rights are the right to silence and the right to speak to legal counsel. If you have been arrested or charged with an offence, it is important you speak to a lawyer at Bottos Law Group who can fully advise you of all your rights.
