I WAS ARRESTED BUT NEVER READ MY RIGHTS DRIVER

If the police think a person may have committed an offence, it is not unusual for them to contact the person and ask them to give a statement about the incident. THE POLICE WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME AND “GET MY SIDE OF THE STORY.” I THINK THEY ARE INVESTIGATING ME FOR A CRIMINAL OFFENCE. You have the right to speak with a lawyer before the police question you or attempt to take a statement from you. (See below.) If you meet with the police and they tell you that you are under arrest or that you are being detained, tell them you want to speak to a lawyer immediately. If the police want to meet with you, you should consider calling a lawyer for advice before meeting with them.

And in other cases, the police do not have enough evidence to charge someone, and they are hoping the person tells them something that gives them enough evidence to arrest them.

While you have the right to remain silent, you do not have the right to lie to the police. A lawyer can help advise you about what you have to tell investigators (if anything), and what information you do not need to provide. If you are unsure about whether you have to cooperate with the police, or how much information you are legally required to give the police, you should always consult with a lawyer. In general, though, you do not need to give the police any information or assist a criminal investigation in any way.
