This is Your Rights as a Suspect Legal Brief. Know your rights if you are suspected of committing a crime, what to expect, and how to respond effectively!

You may be a suspect through rumors, or if you are implicated in a matter being investigated by the police or your unit. This guide prepares you to talk to a defense attorney. This does not replace advice from an attorney! The Topics covered are as follows:
- Basic rule…keep your mouth shut!
- Your rights
- Right to remain silent and searches
