A: I am sorry that this is happening to you. I have two strong responses to your issue. The first is, do not say anything to the officer and do not respond in any way. The second, contact a local criminal defense attorney to discuss the matter. Lawyers can certainly help you in court but they can also put an end to unnecessary “investigation” and most importantly, protect you and your rights. It is simple advice but critical. Call a local attorney for a free consultation and possible representation.
