If you\u2019ve ever seen a cop arrest someone in the United States, you\u2019ve probably heard a few lines!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirandawarning.org\/whatareyourmirandarights.html\"><u>first line of the Miranda rights<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reads \u201cyou have the right to remain silent; anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.\u201d While the Miranda rights aren\u2019t an explicit part of Mexican law, <a href=\"#:~:text=you%20do%20not%20have%20to%20yield%20to%20such%20pressure%20and%20you%20have%20the%20right%20to%20remain%20silent\"><u>the right to remain silent is<\/u><\/a>. In other words, it\u2019s perfectly legal to answer zero questions from Mexican authorities without the presence of a criminal defense attorney\u00a0if you\u2019re ever arrested in a city like Tijuana.<\/p>\n<p>But this begs the question\u2014why is it worth staying silent? And are there any reasons for breaking your silence before meeting a cross-border criminal lawyer\u00a0if you\u2019re charged with a crime in Tijuana?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at the main reasons to stay silent or speak up before calling a criminal defense lawyer in Tijuana.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Reasons to Stay Silent<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/finger-lips.png\" alt=\"A person with their index finger on their lips\" width=\"1125\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0You Won\u2019t Incriminate Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re charged with a crime in Tijuana, it\u2019s worth staying silent before calling a criminal defense attorney\u00a0to prevent self-incrimination. Unless you\u2019re well-versed in <a href=\"https:\/\/mexico.justia.com\/federales\/codigos\/codigo-penal-federal\/\"><u>Mexico\u2019s Federal Penal Code<\/u><\/a>, you might inadvertently provide information that will bolster the prosecution\u2019s case against you if you go to trial. Unfortunately, this can occur even if you didn\u2019t commit a crime!<\/p>\n<p>For instance, suppose you\u2019re charged with drug possession because you agreed to let a border <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpolicedogfoundation.org\/about-k9s\"><u>K9 unit<\/u><\/a>\u00a0go through your vehicle. You speak to the local authorities before calling criminal justice attorneys\u00a0for help and accidentally say, \u201cI don\u2019t get it; my car doesn\u2019t smell like cannabis, and I don\u2019t carry my pipes across the border.\u201d This might seem harmless at first, but you\u2019ve just admitted to knowing what cannabis smells like <em><i>and <\/i><\/em>owning pipes to smoke it in!<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0You\u2019ll Give the Criminal Defense Attorney\u00a0an Even Playing Field<\/h3>\n<p>Imagine being charged with a crime and giving the prosecution a head start to build their case against you. That\u2019s a genuine possibility if you decide to break your silence before talking to a criminal defense attorney!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s common for Mexican authorities to attempt to question travelers charged with cross-border crimes before their lawyers arrive. It allows them to uncover evidence and ask questions the defendant doesn\u2019t know they have the right to refuse!<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Reasons to Speak Up<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/man-camera.png\" alt=\"A man being filmed talking in an interrogation room\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/man-camera.png 500w, https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/man-camera-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0You Want to Contact Your Loved Ones<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that under Mexican law, prisons don\u2019t need to provide inmates with basic amenities like food and clothing? You must contact your friends and family if you want access to these amenities. But what if local authorities have refused you the right to do this? If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s time to speak up!<\/p>\n<p>We recommend asking the authorities politely to give you access to a phone, so you can call your friends and family if you\u2019re ever arrested in Tijuana. If you cannot reach your loved ones, your next port of call is the <a href=\"https:\/\/mx.usembassy.gov\/visas\/u-s-embassy-mexico-city\/u-s-consulate-general-tijuana\/\"><u>US Consulate General in Tijuana<\/u><\/a>.
