You're under arrest!

What does a policeman say fully when she/he arrests you. I need to know specifically, right to remain silent anything you do say......etc.
Thanks in advance. x

"You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

actually..... after they have recited the caution to you... they are also meant to ask you if you understand the caution!!!

This is essential!!

'You're nicked' has been held to be satisfactory by a court!! Followed by the caution of course.

POlice are now required to give the suspect the SOCAP reasons for ther arrest awell - basically, the reasons why the arrest is necessary as opposed to a summons.

birdie - I think that this is called 'Good Practice'..... Maybe you need to go back and read up on the Police and Criminal Evidence Act????

didn't they used to at one time say, taken down and used in evidence against you... why did they change it anyone know?
