You haven't had the right to remain silent since the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. Following that, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Which not only violates your civil rights, but also ends a subordinate clause with a preposition.
That said, when it gets to the point, as it has, where supposed civil/human rights are keeping dangerous criminals out of prison, it should give us pause.
