What are my rights when being questioned by the police?

When the police go to your work to question you, when you are not under arrest and they are simply attempting to get some sort of evidence from you, do you have the right to remain silence? And is it just a threat when they say they will take you to jail if you don't say anything?|||Acouple things to remember when you wish to be treated like a citizen when encountering the police.





#1. "I do not consent to any searches"





#2. "I have the right to remain silent and be accompanied by an attourney"





#3. "I know you're trying to do your job, am I free to go?"





Use those three easy statements, and you can be treated like the constitution mandates that you be treated.|||Depends. If they believe you have information regaurding an open case they can take you in but in the end you dont have to tell them anything.|||Do you mean question in the work place, like at your job? You do not have to provide the police with any information other than identification and as far as the work place you can tell your employer that you want to be copied of any information given to the police pertaining to your employment etc. They can threaten but it is illegal and if they have a reason to charge you with a crime ask what it is and if they don't polity excuse yourself and go on about your business or ask them to contact your lawyer or if they wish to question at a station house tell them you request to have a lawyer present.|||As the Miranda warning states, you have the right to remain silent. You don't need to answer any police questions, with or without a lawyer present. However, the police can arrest you if they feel they have probable cause.|||welll..........if you r withholding evidence to something important and the police know you are...say in a case like murder, and you know who did it. they can put you in jail for a short while...i guess to say it depends on the situation.
