I would be shocked if they could actually use you refusing to talk without legal advice against you
- scott_w 13y agoThey can't. In the UK you are usually asked by the desk sergeant if you want a solicitor before they will question you. Of course, you can be questioned while not being under arrest but again, you can ask for a lawyer before they question you. I can't think a police officer could say in court: "He refused to be questioned before we arrested him" because you're not under any obligation to talk to the police in day-to-day life.
