Most importantly stay calm and try your very best to talk with the Police in a polite and respectful manner.

This will help you to share more information with your attorney when you meet with them. Even though it's your Legal Right to remain silent, the Police will request some basic information such as your name, address, birthdate, telephone number and the name and telephone number of a family member. They will also ask for your drivers license. They need this information to file their reports, and for setting your bail. They do have the right to ask you for this information, so, you should politely provide it. Your Legal rights are protected by the Constitution of the United States. You are not required by law to answer any questions from the Police or district attorney unless you have an attorney present and they advise you to do so. Offer the Police your Legal Rights card which lets them know you are not willing to answer any questions unless you have an attorney present. Your Legal Rights card also has a place for your attorney's name and telephone number. You also have the right to make one phone call. By having your Legal Rights card, you will have easy access to your attorney's telephone number, or the telephone number of your local public defender's office. Make That Call - then remain silent until your attorney arrives and advises you.
What NOT to do: Absolutely Do Not Resist your arrest. Do not act aggressively, threaten, or verbally abuse the Police. Keep Your Temper! Don't let it work against you. Your resistance or aggressive behavior will most likely cause the Police to feel threatened, which could lead them to physically restrain you or escalate the encounter. This can be used against you, and could lead to additional charges being filed. Also, understand that it is normal procedure for the Police to search, fingerprint, and photograph you if they place you under arrest. So, remain calm and cooperative. Understanding the arrest process, and knowing your Legal Rights will help you through a nervous and uncertain situation. Carry your Legal Rights card with you, and understand that you are entitled to your rights under the Constitution of the United States.
