STATEMENT TO READ TO INSPECTOR.

His/Her name is ____________
Telephone number ____________
If I am under arrest I request you so advise me and proved the reasons why.
I DO 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, nor admit or deny any allegation.
