Do I Have To Answer Police Questions?

You are required to provide basic identifying information to police when they stop you, but you are not required to answer any questions about your involvement in a crime.

In fact, it is almost always in your best interest to remain silent when questioned by police. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.

The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects you from self-incrimination. This means that you have the right to remain silent when questioned by police. You should exercise this right and decline to answer any questions until you have an attorney present.
