If you are under investigation for a criminal offence in NSW, the Police will be interested in asking you questions in an interview. You have a right to remain silence – this means you can freely refuse to answer Police questions and do not have to make a statement or interview. It is your choice. You should seek legal advice from a Criminal Lawyer before you decide whether to do an interview or answer questions.
Sometimes doing an interview will help police strengthen their case and lead to you being charged with a crime. It will then be very difficult to defend a criminal charge in Sydney courts.
It is also very important to remember that Police cannot say you are guilty because you refused to answer questions or do an interview. It is your fundamental legal right to choose to remain silent.
