What should I do if I'm arrested by the police?
Never, ever try to run or resist arrest in any way. That course of action will almost certainly makes things worse for you.
Whether you are an adult citizen or non-citizen, you have certain rights if you are arrested. Before the law enforcement officer questions you, he or she should tell you that:
- - You have the right to remain silent.
- - Anything you say may be used against you.
- - You have a right to have a lawyer present while you are questioned.
- - If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.
These are your "Miranda" rights that were enumerated by the US Supreme Court in Miranda v. Arizona. If you are not given these warnings before the police interview you (contrary to popular belief, the police don't have to "Mirandize" you upon arrest), your lawyer can ask that any statements you made to the police not to be used against you in court. However, this does not necessarily mean that your case will be dismissed as the police may have gathered other evidence that is still admissible in court. Also, this does not apply if you volunteer information without being questioned by the police.
It is a common and understandable desire to try to explain your side of things to the police officer in hopes that he or she will let you go. But it just does not work in 999 out of a thousand cases, because the officer is more likely to leave that decision to the prosecuting attorney. So, for example, it will not help you to say "Officer, I only had one drink." All you are doing is providing evidence for your future prosecution by admitting that you have consumed alcohol (even if you are telling the truth about the one drink, it is still possible to be convicted of driving under the influence after consuming only one drink). So, when the officer starts asking questions not related to your identity, simply state that you would prefer to talk to your attorney.
