Everything You Know About Being Arrested in Australia is Wrong
I've been on both sides of an arrest, as the officer making them, and as the defence lawyer picking up the pieces after. Everything you think you know about being arrested in Australia is probably wrong. This is what actually happens, step by step.
In this video, I walk you through the entire process from the moment you hear "you're under arrest" to walking out on bail, the caution (it's not Miranda Rights), what happens at the police station, your Part 9 rights, the interview they'll offer you (and why you should decline), and how bail actually works.
