Do not make these mistakes while involved in a criminal case!
#1: Sharing Details on Social Media:
Many people feel like they have to share details of their private lives on public social media. If you’re accused of a crime, you may seek out legal advice on websites and forums. You may think these online posts are anonymous or private, but that is not true. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors can track down your posts, messages and images on sites like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Reddit, and more.
These can all be used against you in a criminal case, so it is important that you do not reveal details about your case, especially facts that could incriminate you.
#2: Disclosing Information About Your Case
If you speak to the police, they will likely try to get you to make incriminating statements. Law enforcement officers may question loved ones about your case. That is why it is very important that you avoid disclosing any information about your case to anyone other than your lawyer. You have the right to remain silent, and you should tell law enforcement officers who wish to speak to you that you are exercising that right. Always advise law enforcement that you will not speak without your attorney being present.
