Minnesota Criminal Defense Lawyer Jack Rice Appears on Court TV: Why You Don’t Have to Talk to Police
When questioned by law enforcement, many people feel pressured to answer. They often believe staying silent will make them look guilty.

“The police are not here to be your friend. They are actively, purposely, building a case against you.”
You Have the Right to Remain Silent
The Fifth Amendment gives you the right to remain silent when questioned by police officers. Jack Rice, a Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist, Super Lawyer, and nationally recognized defense attorney, emphasized that exercising this right is not an admission of guilt—it is a way to protect yourself.
Why Statements to Police Can Hurt You
Even if you believe your explanation will “clear things up,” law enforcement officers are trained to gather information that can be used against you. Innocent statements can be twisted or taken out of context, and once you’ve spoken, it is nearly impossible to take those words back. Prosecutors rely heavily on these statements in building criminal cases.

If you are under investigation or facing charges in Minnesota and have already made statements to the police, it is crucial to speak with an experienced Minnesota criminal defense lawyer right away. Jack Rice and his team at Jack Rice Defense will review your case, examine how your statements were obtained, and fight to protect your rights.
