At times, it is said that silence speaks better than words. Your
silence becomes golden when there is a false police report against you, and
they are investigating into it. Most criminal lawyers in Montreal
suggest their clients to not to make any statement before the police or the
investigators, looking into the charges against you.
When someone files a malevolent legal case against you, and no
matter if you are innocent and haven’t committed the act of crime, the police
still have an eye on you. They consider those charges against you as true, and
start their investigation. What they search for is evidence; and for this, they
can use your statement against you. And as a matter of fact, you actually do
not know which of your statement will be used against you and in which context.
They could possibly link your words with the words of the complainant, who has
filed the case.
There could come out different implications of your statements,
therefore, to avoid any misinterpretations, it is advisable to stay quiet. The
law permits you to not to speak during the investigation.
Then, how to deal with investigators and police?
If you would visit a criminal lawyer or financial crime attorney, he/she would advise you to stay quiet. Or if the
investigators insist on taking your statement or repeatedly ask questions, you
can tell them that your lawyer will speak on your behalf. It is the best answer
that one can give.
