Basic rules of conduct: - clarify your status and the reason for the call; - enjoy the right to a lawyer; - don’t rush into answers and don’t overthink the facts.

During a confrontation: - answer only the question, do not enter into an argument; - remain calm and do not use emotions instead of facts.

After completion: - read the protocol carefully; - demand correction of inaccuracies and making comments.

If you feel pressure or questions go beyond your status, insist on consulting a lawyer.
