"Wrongfully Arrested? Know Your Rights – A Legal Lifeline with Jared Jones"

📝 Description:
What do you do if you’re arrested for a crime you didn’t commit? In this urgent Justice in Motion segment, attorney Jared Jones cuts through the legal noise to reveal:

🔑 Key Rights Under Section 35 of the Constitution:

Your right to remain silent (and when it could backfire).

Why police must bring you before court within 48 hours (or risk unlawful detention).

How mistaken identity cases unfold—and how to fight back.

⚖️ Critical Insights:

03:15: "Never sign anything without a lawyer"—why even innocent statements can sink your case.

08:40: The hidden cost of rudeness: Can swearing at an officer land you in jail?

14:20: Case study breakdown: How a Johannesburg man sued SAPS for wrongful arrest—and won.

🚨 Practical Steps If Arrested:

Stay calm (even if you’re furious).

Demand your rights (ask for charges immediately).

Call a lawyer before speaking (JDJ Attorneys: www.jdjattorneys.co.za).

💡 "Innocence isn’t enough—your legal conduct determines your freedom."
