Are you concerned because you’ve recently discovered that you’re being investigated for a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice<\/a> (UCMJ)? Good!<\/em> You should be. An investigation is a very serious matter, and you should immediately begin researching your rights during an investigation and consulting an attorney experienced in military law. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a short list of rights and reminders. Although this won’t replace the crucial advice an attorney could give you regarding your specific situation, it will help you learn a bit more about the process and procedures involved.<\/p>\n

Your Rights During an Investigation<\/h2>\n

You have the right to remain silent. <\/strong>A military investigator may ask you to visit his or her office and give a statement, but that simple interview could quickly turn into an interrogation. Investigators are out for one thing: a confession. Although they might promise that they’re simply trying to reach the truth and gather information, the primary goal is to implicate a suspect. Don’t talk to anyone until you’ve spoken with an attorney.<\/p>\n
