WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE ARRESTED

If you are arrested, the most important thing you can do is invoke your right to remain silent, and inform authorities you wish to speak to competent counsel.

Make no statements.

Do not attempt to explain your way out of the situation. The authorities are interested only in gathering evidence against you, which can be used to prosecute you in a court of law.

Remain silent. Ask for counsel.
