Steps to Take Immediately After an Arrest
Following an arrest and criminal charge, it is important that you follow
the steps below in order to protect yourself and give yourself the advantage
that you need in your case. Following these steps can help ensure that
your rights are fully protected. If you have been arrested, you need to
remember to:
-
Be polite. Being courteous to law enforcement officers will get you a lot further
than causing problems. An arrest is not the time to start fights or challenge
allegations made against you.
-
Do not answer any questions. While it may seem like a good idea to answer questions law enforcement
may have, it is not. Besides your name, date of birth, and address, you
should avoid answering potentially incriminating questions.
-
Know your rights. You have constitutionally protected rights that South Shore Criminal Defense
encourages you to exercise. You have the right to remain silent and the
right to an attorney.
-
Request to use a telephone. You have the right to request to use a telephone, and it is important
that you use this opportunity to call South Shore Criminal Defense or
a relative or friend who will help you post bail and get released from custody.
