Right to silence

The right to remain silent means that if anyone is ever questioned by the police or in a court, they do not have to answer and can remain silent. This means that people cannot be made to answer questions and anything said by the person cannot be used against them in court. This means that if someone is ever questioned, they can remain silent so that they don't accidentally say something incriminating. This is to help protect people by making sure they don't accidentally give the police or a court any information that they don't need to.
