Yes, voluntary interviews are still official police interviews under caution. This means that anything you say, or fail to say, can be used as evidence in court and may harm your credibility if you later raise a defence that you did not mention during the interview. Having a solicitor present ensures you do not unintentionally harm your defence. Furthermore, a solicitor ensures that police questioning is fair and not oppressive, providing an important safeguard during the interview. They will intervene if officers overstep their legal powers and make sure your legal rights are fully protected throughout the process.
