A police officer wants to ask me questions, what are my rights?
A. You have the right to remain silent (anything you say could be used against you). If you start answering questions you have the right to stop answering at any time. You have the right to consult with an attorney prior to and during the questioning. Q. I work for an establishment and have found out that the owner of the business has been committing crimes. Unbeknownst to me, I have taken part in the same activity under his direction. Can I be charged with the same crimes as the owner since I am an employee? A. The answer is YES. But, there may be defenses available to you. The best advice would be to consult a criminal defense attorney immediately.
