You have the right to remain silent and answer ‘no comment’ to police questions in an interview. If there is a clear lack of evidence to substantiate the allegation against you, it may be advisable to say no comment in an interview. This prevents you from unintentionally providing information that the police could ‘spin’ and use to strengthen their case against you.
However, staying silent without a good reason can be used against you in court during a trial. If you are later charged and the case goes to trial, the prosecution can argue that you failed to raise a defence at the police station because you did not have one at the time. This could lead the court to believe that any defence you present has been fabricated.
