602-962-2017Why You Should Always Remain Silent and Cooperative When Arrested
If you suspect you may be arrested, knowing your rights can save you from making serious errors.
Anything you say and do will be used against you. When police take you into custody, always be polite, cooperative, and silent. It is ok to be upset and overwhelmed. However, it is not ok to act out by:
- Resisting arrest (e.g., going limp, refusing to follow instructions, hitting, kicking, running away)
- Insulting police officers
- Arguing with the officers (e.g., demanding to be told the charges, asking “what did I do”)
Police officers will begin to question you immediately. While remaining cooperative, simply state that you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer.
You have the right to remain silent and hire a lawyer.
Attorney Richard Suzuki is a former prosecutor. He knows what the prosecution will look for in your case and how to craft the best defense. Contact our law offices as soon as possible.
