After arrest, the person is taken to the police station for processing. The police should explain the person’s rights on arrest and detention in custody. By law, the arrested person must provide their full name, address and date of birth to the police. It’s best to assume that everything said to the police will be recorded. Police will often ask the arrested person whether nor not they wish to participate in a record of interview. You should always obtain legal advice prior to speaking to the police about any matter.
