What to Do If You Are Arrested
Being arrested or even accused of a crime can be a confusing and scary experience, but it is important to stay calm and remember you have rights. The steps you take immediately following your arrest can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
If you are arrested, you should:
- Remain silent: You have the right to remain silent, and you should exercise that right. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court, so it is best to say nothing at all.
- Ask for a lawyer: You have the right to an attorney and should ask for one as soon as possible. Do not answer any questions until your attorney is present.
- Do not resist arrest: Resisting arrest can lead to additional charges and worsen your situation. Even if you believe you are being wrongfully arrested, it is best to comply with the officer’s orders and let your lawyer handle the situation.
- Do not consent to a search: The police may ask to search your person, vehicle, or home. You have the right to refuse a search, and you should do so. If the police have a warrant, they will search regardless of your consent. If they do not have a warrant, any evidence they find may be inadmissible in court.
