Q : What should I do if the police arrest me?

A : Better to discuss what you shouldn't do. Do not:

speak to anyone about your case;
answer police queries or waive your right to advice of counsel;
submit to a lineup or any kind of tests without your lawyer;
dodge news photographers or cover your face (looks guilty);
be impolite to the police.
Some people cooperate with the police by making statements in the hope that the officer will let them go. Remember that once you have been arrested you will be charged with an offense, and any statements you make, if incriminating, will be used against you.

Q : What do I tell my lawyer while I'm in custody?

A : Be prepared to tell your attorney where the police have taken you, where the arrest occurred and if it was made by uniformed or plainclothes police, the charges against you, and the amount of bail you can afford.

Q : If the police arrest me and issue a citation, can I dispose of the case in a non-criminal way?

A : No. Once you've been arrested, you must go through the criminal process
