David Cole Barrister-at-Law
What should someone do when they are arrested or charged with breaking the law in Australia?
- Do not obstruct police in the performance of their duty or there may be additional charges;
- Provide their true name, date of birth and current residential address;
- Reserve their right to remain silent - not answer questions, give a statement or agree to an interview until after having sought professional legal advice;
- Phone a lawyer – not a friend or relative as only one phone call may be permitted and it is better to get expert advice immediately to make the best decisions on how to proceed.
