People detained in custody are often easily frightened into incriminating themselves, or lack good legal advice on what to say and how to behave to represent their innocence effectively. Police officers can be mistaken and arrest the wrong person and are often under pressure to get enough evidence to clear a case, rather than find the truth of a situation. Only then, can someone be accurately labelled “a criminal”. And then, it’s an essential legal principle, in England at least, that the evidence must convince a jury in court, where the defendant has the right to a lawyer who will show if the evidence is flawed.

You’re only a “criminal” once you’ve been found guilty of a crime by a jury of your peers and sentenced by a judge. If you’ve been taken into custody by a police officer at a police station, you are not a “criminal” – you are a “detainee” or a “suspect”. The police do not interact with “criminals”.

It’s good for our personal safety, and to be an informed citizen, to know how the process of interacting with the law works (or, is supposed to work).
