Getting arrested can be a terrifying experience, especially if you’re unfamiliar with your legal rights. Whether it’s a misunderstanding or a serious charge, knowing what to do can protect your rights and future.
Do not resist arrest or argue with the police. Stay calm and be respectful. Anything you say or do can be used against you later.
You have the right to legal representation. Politely inform the officers that you wish to speak to a lawyer before answering any questions.
Sometimes, suspects are pressured into signing statements or confessions. Do not sign any documents until your lawyer has reviewed them.
Let someone you trust know that you’ve been arrested. They can help secure a lawyer and assist with bail.
Under Cameroonian law, you have the right to be informed of the charges against you, be treated humanely, and be brought before a judge within a reasonable period.
At Sunjo-Befeh & Partners, our defense attorneys are experienced in protecting the rights of the accused. We’re committed to providing swift, strong legal defense when it matters most.
