About the video
The statement you give at a police station may affect not only the investigation file but also the later stages of the trial.
The video explains, in terms of the basic safeguards of criminal procedure, whether you can be forced to change your statement, whether police officers may steer you, what rights you have in such a situation and why it is important to ask for a lawyer. A statement must be given of one’s own free will; statements taken under pressure, steering or coercion can raise serious legal questions.
