So you are being charged with a crime, what do you do now? There are a few key rules that everyone being charged with a crime should follow, even though most never will.
1) Be polite and respectful!
- Being rude and obnoxious will only make the officer want to arrest you even more.
2) Do not talk!
- You have the right to remain silent and you should use it. More people get convictions by running their mouthes than all the DNA, fingerprint, photo ID's or witness testimony combined.
3) Do not agree to be searched!
-An officer may not have legal grounds to search your home, your car, your person, etc. If you agree to let him search, then he does not need legal grounds because he had permission.
4) Demand your attorney now!
-The law requires that you must be clear and unequivocal when demanding your attorney. Just saying you have an attorney or would want one may not be good enough.
