In some cases, there may be some benefit to assisting the police in interviews. If the charge involves drug possession, especially if the suspect has no criminal record and is only being charged with possessing a small amount of drugs, it may be beneficial to cooperate with police interviews. In this case, a diversion can be applied for and, if approved by the magistrate, will not leave a public criminal record.

In other cases, particularly if police are considering drug trafficking charges, they may have limited evidence of drug trafficking. At this point, staying silent may be the best option.
