Get a lawyer and a support person before you answer any

questions. They know more about the criminal justice

system than you do. If a person with a disability answers

the questions, they might incriminate themselves. You

might be likely to go along with the police and what they

say, if you are alone with them. You need someone on your

side. They might trick you, and you need someone who will

help you figure out what the tricks are. Sometimes there is a

case of mistaken identity. If they get you by mistake,

you might need someone to help you prove it wasn't you.
