If questioned by a U.S. Postal Inspector, even if you believe you are not guilty of any wrong doing, it is suggested that you:

Remain calm;

Correctly identify yourself;

Do not physically resist an arrest or a search of your person or property;

Read aloud to the Postal Inspector(s) the statement below;

Remain silent until you have consulted with your APWU representative or attorney, as appropriate.

THIS IS NOT COMPLETE LEGAL ADVICE.  ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A LAWYER.

I request the presence of my APWU representative.  If I am a suspect in a criminal matter, please so advise me.  If so, I wish to contact my attorney.

His/Her name is ____________________________

Telephone number __________________________

If I am under arrest, I request you to so advise me and to inform me of the reason or reasons.

I so not consent to a search of my person or property.  If you have a search warrant, I request to see it at this time.

I do not waive any of my rights, including my right to remain silent.  I will not sign a waiver-of-rights form, nor admit or deny any allegation, nor make any written or oral statement unless my attorney is personally present and so advises me.
