Being arrested or questioned by police can be overwhelming. Here's what you should do to protect yourself:

​

  • Stay Silent. You are not legally required to answer questions without a lawyer. Don’t try to explain—wait for your attorney.

  • Request a Lawyer Immediately. Clearly state: “I want to speak with an attorney.”

  • Do Not Consent to Searches. Unless there is a valid warrant, you have the right to refuse a search of your person, car, or property.
