Being arrested or questioned by police is frightening, especially if you do not know your rights. This tool explains what the police can and cannot do, what happens at the police station, your right to a solicitor, how long they can hold you, and what happens after you are released.
Whether you have been arrested yourself, a family member has been taken in, or you are worried about being questioned, tell us the situation and get clear, practical guidance on your rights and what to expect. If you have any comments or would like additional tools, please leave a comment at the bottom of this page.
