@amandasheppardsolicitor: 🚨 “It’s voluntary, so I can just leave… right?” Yes — if you attend a police interview voluntarily, you are not under arrest and you are free to leave. BUT 👇 If you leave before the interview is completed, the police may then consider whether your arrest has become necessary to allow a prompt and effective investigation. That doesn’t mean arrest is automatic. Police must still satisfy the legal test for arrest under s.24 PACE and be able to justify why arrest is necessary. ⚖️ Voluntary interview does not mean informal interview. And remember — legal advice at the police station is FREE, whether you are arrested or attending voluntarily so why not use it! #lawyersoftiktok #legaladvice #criminallaw #solicitor #military
Voluntarily attending an interview is like a football team voluntarily lending their centre forward to the opposition. If the police have enough evidence to arrest you, they will. If not, there's no need to do their job for them.

The simple answer is no you don’t if they have anything on you then they will come back to arrest you the trick is not to incriminate yourself by answering questions, hence no comment

If the police had sufficient grounds and evidence to arrest you then they would do. Don’t volunteer your time or any info / evidence

There's no such thing as voluntary where the police are concerned. Its just a ploy you lull you into a false sense of security in order to get you to incriminate yourself.. Always ask for and insist on having a solicitor. Say Nothing ... It does Not imply guilt.

Lea :
so if you refuse to attend a voluntary interview, they then have to decide if there is enough evidence to make an arrest to interview you under caution?

If they had reasonable grounds they wouldn’t ask you in for a voluntary interview. Just attend and give a no comment interview. Their questioning will give you an idea as to what they are trying to charge you with.
