Ann Arbor Criminal Defense Attorney Urges Residents to Be Informed During Police Encounters
Michimich.com/10302534

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Amid growing concern over civil liberties during police interactions, a leading criminal defense attorney in Ann Arbor is urging residents to educate themselves about their constitutional rights when stopped, questioned, or searched by law enforcement.

"Too many people unknowingly waive their rights during police encounters," says the attorney. "Whether you're pulled over or detained, knowing what you can legally refuse—or when to stop speaking—can mean the difference between freedom and a criminal charge."

Key protections under the law include:

• The Right to Remain Silent: You are not required to answer police questions beyond identifying yourself.
• The Right to an Attorney: Always ask for a lawyer before answering questions if you're in custody.
• Protection from Unlawful Searches: You can legally refuse searches of your person, home, or vehicle unless police have a warrant or valid legal grounds.

"Statements made without legal counsel can and will be used against you," the attorney adds. "We strongly encourage anyone stopped or arrested to remain calm, invoke their rights, and contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately."
