Free Report: Understanding Your Rights As a Suspect in Nebraska

On behalf of Tom Petersen posted in Criminal Defense on

Understanding Your Rights As a Suspect in NebraskaIf the police stop you and start asking you questions, do you have to answer them? What if you start to cooperate and then realize you need a lawyer—can you stop cooperating? Do you have a right to an attorney if the police want to question you? The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution affords you the right against self-incrimination, also known as the “right to remain silent.” This right is very broad and applies in all encounters with the police.

Topics covered in this report include:

  1. Constitutional Rights
  2. Searches and Seizures
  3. Questioning and Interrogation
  4. Trial Rights
  5. But the Officer Never Read Me My Rights
