Remember – When You Get Arrested
Don’t become an uncompensated YOU TUBE star.
Stay Calm and Cooperate
Remember:
Always show courtesy by keeping a composed and respectful attitude when interacting with the officer.
Stay silent:
You have the right to remain silent and are not obligated to provide any information beyond essential identification details. You must assert that right by stating I do not wish to discuss anything with you (the officer) besides hello and goodbye.
Contact a lawyer:
As soon as you are pulled over, it is crucial to contact a DUI attorney without delay after your arrest. Do not discuss anything with anyone especially on the phone in jail or the police station. Simply say – Mom – I need a DUI attorney and have her call our office (248) 357-2550
Do not:
Do not admit guilt:
Avoid making any remarks that may be construed as an admission of guilt.
Do not argue with the officer:
Avoid arguing or becoming confrontational with the police.
Provide unnecessary information:
Only answer basic questions required by law.
Do not run and become a You Tube video:
Always pull over safely when signaled by an officer.
