Right 2 Remain Silent
Right 2 Remain Silent
The Legal Aid Society is fighting for the passage of the #Right2RemainSilent Act - legislation that will make New York State more just for children and young people. The #Right2RemainSilent Act would ensure that all youth under 18 are provided a consultation with an attorney before they can be interrogated by law enforcement. This bill ensures that the constitutional right to remain silent is a meaningful protection for all children, not just those privileged enough to hire private counsel. Please contact your legislator and urge them to pass #Right2RemainSilent: legalaidnyc/R2RS Speak up. Protect young New Yorker's right to remain silent.
