Myth vs. Fact: Arrests & Evidence
Myth: You can’t be arrested without evidence.
Fact: You can be arrested based on probable cause — but that doesn’t mean you’re guilty. Know your rights. ⚖️
Probable cause refers to a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed and that the individual in question was involved. It does not require physical evidence such as fingerprints, video footage, or forensic reports. This legal threshold is relatively low, and unfortunately, it means that individuals can be arrested without substantial proof.
However, it is critical to understand: an arrest does not equate to guilt.
Your response in the moments following an arrest can significantly affect the outcome of your case. The most important action you can take is to exercise your right to remain silent and request legal counsel immediately.
At Ambeau Law Firm, we are committed to protecting your rights and providing an experienced, strategic defense from the outset.
