Know Your Rights 

When being questioned by your chain of command, CID or Military Police Agents.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT:

  • To be told what criminal act you are suspected or accused of doing.
  • To be told you have the right to remain silent.
  • To be told any statements (oral or written) can and will be used against you.

The only statement you should make is the following: 

"I do not waive my right to silence.  I want an attorney.  I want to leave"

    If they wish to make a search without a Command Search Authorization or Search Warrant, say:

    "I do not consent to any searches."
