In Ontario, Canada, the right to remain silent is a principle protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Individuals have the right to not incriminate themselves and to choose not to answer questions or make statements.
If you are facing criminal charges or are under investigation, it is recommended that you speak with a lawyer. A criminal defense lawyer can advise you on your rights and help you navigate the criminal justice system.
It is important to note that you have the right to remain silent at all stages of a criminal investigation or court proceedings, not just during police interrogations. You can also choose to exercise your right to remain silent even if you have been arrested or charged with a crime.
In Ontario, you have the right to free legal advice if you are charged with a criminal offense. Contact Kisel Law for a free consult 30 minutes before you speak with the police!
