Interactions initiated by law enforcement can be intimidating and anxiety-inducing for the public, as they are often unexpected and put individuals in a disadvantaged position. Research has shown that the public faces a higher likelihood of being detained for an extended period of time, arrested, subjected to excessive or deadly force, and having their constitutional rights violated in situations where the interaction was not recorded on video.
To address these concerns, Attorney Shield combines recorded video, along with the presence of a licensed attorney. This can greatly improve law enforcement's adherence to professional standards and improve interactions with the public. By providing a clear record of interactions and the presence of legal support, we believe that law enforcement will be better equipped to act with professionalism and respect for individuals' rights.
The 5th Amendment guarantees you the right to remain silent and to be free from coercive tactics intended to force admission of guilt. It's not uncommon for drivers to admit to minor traffic violations or mistakes during a traffic stop. It's also not uncommon for those with contraband to admit to having it in hopes of "getting off easy", but it rarely works this way. Any attorney will always advise you to remain silent. The job of law enforcement is to investigate and ask questions. Even if you don't think you've done anything wrong, the more you talk the more likely you are to say something incriminating.
The 6th Amendment guarantees you the right to consult with legal counsel when being questioned by police, even if you are not yet being detained or arrested. However, there may be some situations where the police may delay your access to an attorney, such as in cases of emergency or where public safety is at risk. If you find yourself in this situation, you also have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions.
