You or a family member has been arrested: what to do to protect your rights
-
Do not offer to make a statement - it will not help you and you are more likely to implicate yourself or others by doing so.
-
Refuse to answer any questions with out an attorney present to represent you.
-
Have a family member or friend collect the names, addresses and phone numbers of any and all witnesses to the alleged incident.
-
Keep in mind, "you have the right to remain silent" for a reason, do not waive that right.
