you and the police

there are few things that we must know about us, and the police. first,  when the policeman in a plainclothes stops u, u have the right to ask him to show you his police authority card. the card is either in blue, yellow, or white in colour, and different colour refers to different level of rank. then, you should know wheter you have to answer in case they ask you a question. there are few ways how to know whether you are under arrest or not. first is when the police mentioned it to you, when police uses force to restrain an individual, and lastly by words or conduct. you can ask the police too whether you are under arrest or not. remember that when you are called for recording a witness statement, do tell the truth and you also have the right where you can ask a lawyer to accompany, ask interpreter's service(in case you do not understand), and lastly make any corrections or change before signing.the police can detained us up to 24hours for investigation. we also have the rights when being arrest and we'll share it with you in the next session. tq~
