Fundamentally, we have the right to protest and the authorities must respect that, however, there are occasions when peaceful protests go awry and you may unwittingly get caught up in the events and are arrested and detained.
If you have been arrested at a protest or are planning to attend a protest where you believe you might be arrested, it is important to understand your legal rights, what happens when you get arrested, the types of charges you could face and your legal defence options.
A criminal conviction could have a significant effect on your life, including your job prospects, further education options and ability to travel abroad. Having the right legal support can help you to avoid criminal charges or minimise the penalties on conviction, reducing the long-term impact on your life.
If you or a family member has been arrested or are being investigated for an alleged offence, you can get in touch with our Protest and Public Order offences solicitors 24 hours a day, seven days a week for assistance. Either call us on 020 3325 7415 or complete our online form and we’ll get right back to you.
