Summons

A request to appear before the police, prosecutor, or court.

As an accused person, you generally do not have to appear for a purely police summons; but you do have to appear for a summons from the public prosecutor's office or the court. As an accused person, you always have the right to remain silent and to bring in a lawyer.
