Dette er dine rettigheter og plikter i en slik situasjon:
· Du vil ha status som vitne i saken
· Du må oppgi navn, fødselsdato, fødselsår, stilling og bopel, men det er også alt du plikter å fortelle om deg selv
· Som vitne har du ikke forklaringsplikt. Politiet kan altså ikke kreve at du avgir forklaring og svarer på spørsmål om den aktuelle situasjonen. Ikke der og da og ikke på et senere tidspunkt! Det er din rett å ikke fortelle noen ting om deg selv, kunden og situasjonen!
· Politiet kan likevel innkalle deg til et møte på politistasjonen for å spørre om du ønsker å forklare deg. Du må stille på møtet, men det er fortsatt frivillig om du vil avgi forklaring eller ikke
· Dersom du ønsker å avgi forklaring til politiet, enten der og da eller på et senere tidspunkt, må du forklare deg sannferdig. Du kan ha med deg en person dersom du ønsker det
· Du har vitneplikt, men kun dersom saken har kommet opp for domstolen! Da plikter du å møte som vitne i retten og forklare deg sannferdig. Dersom det er ønskelig at du skal vitne i saken skal du ha skriftlig varsel om dette!
If the police shows up when you are with a customer!
It is now forbidden to buy sex in Norway. It is not forbidden to sell sex!
The police has started their work on the streets, in pubs, clubs and restaurants and on the indoor marked, looking for men buying sex. If the police shows up when you are with a customer they will ask you a lot of questions on the spot. They want you to admit that you sell sex and that you have made a deal with the customer. You don’t have to answer any of these questions!
The following are your rights and duties in such a situation:
· You are a witness in the case
· You must show the police ID and papers for your legal stay in Norway. You have to tell them your name, date of birth, where you live and where you work (if you have an ordinary job). That’s all you have to tell them about yourself
· As a witness you don’t have to explain yourself to the police. The police have no right to demand you to answer any questions about the situation. Not at the spot and not later. It is your right not to tell them anything about yourself, the customer and the situation!
· The police can ask you to meet at the police station so they can ask you once again if you would like to give a statement. You have to go to this meeting, but you still don’t have to tell them anything. If you want, you can bring someone with you to the meeting.
· If you would like to give a statement to the police and answer their questions, you can do it on the spot or at a later time, but you have to tell the truth. Don’t lie to the police!
· If the case goes to court, it is your duty to meet as a witness. You will receive a letter about this. Then you have to meet in court and answer any questions with the truth. Don’t lie in court!
