What is an interview under caution?
An interview under caution begins with the caution being read to the person being interviewed. It gives the warning that anything said in interview can be admitted as evidence if the matter goes to court and an adverse inference can be drawn if the person decides to exercise their right to silence.
If you are arrested and interviewed in custody or asked to attend a voluntary interview, the same weight is given to your answers or lack of them in the interview. You are entitled to have a solicitor in your interview either in custody or by a voluntary attendance.
