In drug cases, there are also situations where the police may be trying to threaten you into becoming a drug informant.

Most of the time, they are threatening you because they don’t have enough to charge you with, and that’s the easiest way for them to gather evidence. But in some cases, that’s exactly the best plan if you’ve got a lawyer representing you. I can completely understand why ignoring the police and hoping the extra charge doesn’t happen sounds like a terrible legal strategy. This is almost certainly a bluff and a tactic. The officer left a message that said: “If you don’t talk to me, I will have to also charge you with malicious destruction of property for damage caused in the accident.” I had a client who was being accused of leaving the scene of an accident. But what if the police are threatening me with MORE charges if I don’t talk? They are calling to you gather evidence for a case, very possibly against you.

They can come to your home, or your work and the continuous requests and contacts they make can be quite threatening and intimidating. But they may keep calling if they want to question you, for whatever reason. Remember, you are never obligated to talk to the police. I recommend that you should not speak to the police on any criminal investigation all without an attorney. What Should I Do If the Police Want to Talk to Me? I’ve had this happen with clients involved in some sex offense cases.

It can also happen if you are known to the police, perhaps from a prior offense or complaint report, and they are investigating similar or related crimes. The police will often call you or stop by your home if they get a call from a witness who wrote down a license plate, they claim was involved in a crime, and you are the owner of the vehicle suspected of being involved. I regularly get calls from people when the police are investigating charges like hit and run, OUI, theft, or other charges. This can happen in situations where police are conducting an investigation into a possible crime.

Most people look to hire a lawyer after they have been arrested and charged with a crime.īut if you are being investigated for a crime, having a lawyer can sometimes prevent you from ever being charged with a crime at all.
