Can refuse to answer a question which will incriminate me in a matter?
31-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
when called by police for any investigation or arrested for any crime, can you insist on contacting your lawyer and refuse to answer any questions unless you had a chance to talk to him, or he is also present at the time of questioning?? also can you refuse to answer any question on the ground that it would incriminate you??? will this be ground for the court to refuse to give you bail as police will say that we need to investigate the matter as accused is not co-operating???
Thus, advice is to contact your lawyer take his mind and give such answer, which would not be self incriminating instead of choosing to maintain silence.
