The police can arrest someone if they think she/he has done something serious (e.g. murder, rape or armed robbery), or if they suspect she/he is intending to commit a crime.
A police officer must explain to the person why she/he is being arrested. Then the person who is being arrested is ‘cautioned’. The police officer says: ‘You don’t have to say anything unless you wish to do so, but what you say may be given in evidence.’ Their right of silence is a basic principle of British law and allows people to say nothing until they’ve talked to their solicitor.
