If you have been accused of a crime or arrested in the Seattle or Tacoma area, or anywhere in Washington, you are probably confused and concerned about your current situation and have many questions. Many times prior to an arrest or prior to receiving notice in the mail of a criminal charge, the police will have contacted you or have attempted to contact you during the investigation of an allegation of a crime. If you are under investigation or are being questioned by the police, you must remember your constitutional rights, specifically, that you have the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney present during questioning.

It is generally a good idea NOT to answer any questions asked by the police and exercise your constitutional rights and ask to speak with an attorney.

Police officers and detectives are trained to investigate crimes and gather evidence to build a case against you. Some believe the police often bend rules and statements are taken out of context in order to secure an arrest and conviction. Also, many times suspects provide the evidence needed to convict themselves to the authorities through confessions, statements, or other evidence.

Being cooperative with law enforcement is generally a good idea but one should be in a controlled setting where there is access to legal advice from a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer.
