Top Ten (10) Things NOT to Do If You Are Arrested
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS ADVICE. A wide variety of people are arrested every day and the majority of the individuals make the same mistakes which make there situation even worse. Many of these reactions are understandable, however some defy logic and reason. Nobody plans on being arrested, but you may be arrested for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Share this with your colleagues, friends and family because it will come in handy for many of you. The basic rule is to simply listen to the officer and do as your told, "Put Your Hands Behind Your Back" and do NOT do any of these Ten Things:
1. Don't Talk.
Do not say a word to the officer. Shut the F. up! I cannot stress to you the importance of this rule. Do not talk! Do not attempt to convince the officer of your innocence. Everyone is innocent, no one should be arrested and no one should be in jail and that is all the officer hears all day every day. He / she does not care generally whether you are innocent or guilty and there is nothing that he / she can do at this point. Most times, when people speak to officers they say something that makes their situation far worse. Keep your mouth shut, there will be plenty of time to talk later.
2. Don't Run.
I said above to listen to the officer and follow his / her instructions. Do not be scared and do not let the liquid courage aka alcohol convince you that you can outrun the twelve officers and helicopter that will track you down. Also, police become highly suspicious that someone running has a weapon and may be quick to draw their weapon. Additionally when they do run you down expect much stronger force used to subdue a fleeing suspect.
3. Never Resist Arrest.
Perhaps the most important thing not to do is touch the police officer at all! Again, sober up quick and follow what the officer says. Many people attempt to bump the officer or swat an officers hands away. This often falls under the assault statutes and now a minor misdemeanor arrest becomes a FELONY. Thus a reckless driving charge leads to a year or more in state prison. Additionally, touching the officer in any way can lead to a batton in the mouth.
4. Don't Believe the Police.
It is perfectly legal for the police to lie to get you to make an admission. The police frequently separate two friends and tell one the other one ratted him / her out. Because of the lie, the other friend now rats the first friend out. Police and detectives also state that "it will be easier" to talk now...LIES!!! DON'T BELIEVE THIS BS! It will only be easier for the police to prove their case!
5. No Searching.
Do not allow the police to search anywhere! If the police officer asks, they do not have the right to search and must have your consent. If you are asked make sure you proclaim to any witnesses that "You (the police) do not have consent to search." If they perform the search anyway, that evidence may be thrown out later. Also, if you consent to a search, the officers may find something that you had no idea you had placed somewhere, ie: marijuana left by a friend.
6. Don't Look At Places Where You Don't Want Police to Search.
Police are trained to watch you and react to you. They know that you are nervous and scared and many people look to the areas that they don't want the police to search. Do not react to the search and do not answer any questions. LOOK DOWN AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!
7. Do Not Talk Shit to the Police.
I don't care if you have been wrongly arrested and the true culprit is standing in front of you. Don't talk shit! Police hear all day that my dad is the the Governor's Assistant's Intern and I will have your badge for this! Police have a lot of discretion in the upcoming charges brought. Police can add charges, change a misdemeanor to a felony, or even talk to the prosecutor that is ultimately prosecuting you.
8. If Police Come to Your Home, Do not Let Them In and Do Not Step Outside Your Home
If the police are confident you have committed a felony, they are coming in anyway, because they generally don't need an arrest warrant. Make it clear to the police by stating: "No you may not come in", or "I am comfortable talking right here", or "You need a search warrant to enter my home." If they return, your attorney can arrange for you to turn yourself in should that be necessary and you will spend no time in jail between the hearings.
9. Outside Your Home Arrested, Do Not Accept Offer to Go In Your Home for Anything.
The officer may say to you, how about you go inside and change, freshen up, talk to your wife, husband, get a jacket, or any other reason. The police will graciously escort you in and then tear your home apart searching through it. Also, do not let them secure your car. Your car is fine. Remember they are lying to you. They don't give a damn if you are really cold or if you need to talk to your wife or husband.
10. Don't say a word.
It's incredible how many people feel that they can convince the officer, the booking officer or a detective (if your case reaches that stature) that they are not guilty. YOUR CASE IS NOT DECIDED BY THESE PEOPLE. They have no affect on your records. Wait to speak to your lawyer! The courts give enormous weight to "confessions" during this stage. A suspect is almost NEVER released after being arrested.
Follow these ten simply rules religiously and many of your rights will remain intact. I don't care how nervous, scared or drunk you are, THESE RULES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, and will help you tremendously in the short and long run.
Quick Test Question
An altercation occurs with your live in girlfriend. When the police arrive they find you on the sidewalk, a few houses down the street. Your girlfriend points you out and the officers then arrest you for assault. During the arrest, they let you know that they do not intent to question you. They just need your name and address. What do you do?
Answer
Well the police are lying to you and rule number 1 is to keep your mouth shut, so you don't say anything. Your name is all you may need to give. If you give your address, that may indicate that you live together converting your alleged crime from a misdemeanor to a felony. An officer will attempt to get you to make an admission, especially when they have no evidence. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!

10 things
WOW it seems simple but, you have identified the mistakes made by well meaning citizens. Those same citizens now have spent a night in jail just to have charges dropped or reduced. This advice should be taught to high schools students in civics classes. Do they still teach civics?
Ultimately, it all comes
Ultimately, it all comes down to who you know. ie: I was followed on the highway by an off-duty police officer one evening, there was nothing I could do to get him off my ass! He changed lanes every time I did!!! I became so fed up with him following me after about an hour that I got off at the next exit...as you can guess, he followed me! He parked behind me in the right lane of the exit, got out of his unmarked car, came over to my driver side door. I rolled down the window and asked the man why he continued to follow me around the interstate? He said that I passed a car from the center lane ending up in the right lane. I replied, "Yes, I was trying to get you off of my ass, Sir!!! I then pulled out one of my Dad's business cards(my Dad was a Lieutenant on the police force, at that time...he is now retired) and stated that I would be happy to let my Dad know that you followed me for at least an hour on the highway, putting me in danger and the others on the highway in danger with your irrational following techniques. He handed me his business card in return, apologized very nervously and asked me to call him if I needed any legal help in any way in the future and asked me to please not tell my Dad about this. How empowering!!(sp) I have been pulled over for speeding, as well, in the past and got out of it EVERY TIME by mentioning who my Dad is!!! This may sound unfair to those of you that think I used my resources to my benefit unjustly. My reply to you is, your damn right I did!!!; if the police in USA continue to use their resources unjustly, you are damn right that I will do the same to them!!!!
What NOT to do when Talking to an officer
Never ! No matter how drunk and pissed you are, never repeat over and over that you are going to kill the bitch that called the cops on you even if she did start it.
This should interest everyone....... I like it !

Court broadens police power in searches
By Pete Yost
April 24, 2008
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court affirmed yesterday that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law.
The UNANIMOUS decision comes in a case from Portsmouth, Va., where city detectives seized crack cocaine from a motorist after arresting him on a traffic-ticket offense.
David Lee Moore was pulled over for driving on a suspended license. The violation is a minor crime in Virginia and calls for police to issue a court summons and let the driver go.
Instead, city detectives arrested Moore and prosecutors said drugs taken from him in a subsequent search can be used against him as evidence.
"We reaffirm against a novel challenge what we have signaled for half a century," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote.
Justice Scalia said that when officers have probable cause to think a person has committed a crime in their presence, the Fourth Amendment permits them to make an arrest and to search the suspect in order to safeguard evidence and ensure their own safety.
Moore was convicted on a drug charge and sentenced to 3½ years in prison.
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that police should have released Moore and could not lawfully conduct a search.
The state's high court said state law restricted officers to issuing a ticket in exchange for a promise to appear later in court. Virginia courts dismissed the indictment against Moore.
Moore argued that the Fourth Amendment permits a search only following a lawful state arrest.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she finds more support for Moore's position in previous court cases than the rest of the court does. But she said she agrees that the arrest and search of Moore was constitutional, even though it violated Virginia law.
The Bush administration and attorneys general from 18 states lined up in support of Virginia prosecutors.
The federal government said Moore's case had the potential to greatly increase the class of unconstitutional arrests, resulting in evidence seized during searches being excluded with increasing frequency.
Looking to state laws to provide the basis for searches would introduce uncertainty into the legal system, the 18 states said in court papers.
Some of you people have NO
Some of you people have NO idea what you're talking about when it comes to some of these laws you speak of.
Also, in most states, incident to arrest, a consent to search is not needed for your person, or your vehicle.
When it comes to searching your home, just because they can see into it, doesn't mean they can just go in unless in some circumstances, like drugs in plain view etc, in some states, that is still not enough.
We ALL have crappy cop stories, or have heard crappy cop stories, they're a dime a dozen, and usually you leave all the parts out of how you're a dumbass, and the cop is just an asshole. Take everything you read here for what it's worth, which is nothing.
Circumstances will dictate.
MOO
MOOOOOOO!
i love eggs too
c'mon people, if the cops weren't around there would be a lot of chaos and fukin killing of people on a much larger scale. that being said any police person who is caught abusing their authority should be shot, twice.
cops are liars
don't say anything is good advice. cops jobs are to arrest people, whether they are guilty or not. cops are fucking douchbags. fuck all cops. especially cops in alabama.
Same to you Phillip. By the
Same to you Phillip. By the way, your spelling needs some work. It's "douche bag".
if the police were never
if the police were never around ..the crime would be less
because then mr vigilante citizen would make things right!
there be far less bad guys in my neighbor hood if I didnt have to worry about cops.

then maybe the vigilante
then maybe the vigilante citizens could organize themselves, share information, work on shifts...you know, maybe form some kind of, i don't know, police force or something.

Good sound advice
It seems that many police oficers are tagging this discrediting its contents in their reply.I am wondering why if this is within our consituitional rights to remain silent and to be free from unlawful search? That said I have met many cops and had a laugh with quite a few.I do not look apaun them as a threat to me personally as I am a 37 year old white dude and can talk good old boy about just about anything.That and I look like a cop/marine also.I do not know what it is to be of a different race ,as I am not.That said they probably get picked on far more than I unjustifably.I also will be the first to admit I could not be a cop myself.I get along with people well,however putting up with all the bullshit they get everyday,seeing all our petty little crimes,digusting perversions and useless tantrums I couldn't handle it. I allready have seen a lot of crap and would not take it.I would just shoot the bastards..no jury ..no report..just a another scum bag removed from the genepool..My point is the cops start out as rookies,fresh hopefuls and they kinda get sucked into the pit seeing everyone as crimminals..as for the BJ to get out of tickets when I was in highschool we had a helpfull officer that had a rather excellent ability to know which would and wouldn't..so his ass wasn't fired for about seven years until he missed his mark and proposisioned the daughter of a rather powerful lawyer...
Next time someone breaks
Next time someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night and tries to rape and murder you, DONT CALL ME (THE POLICE) YOU PARANOID FREAK Just STFU
if i didnt have to call you
if i didnt have to call you I wouldnt..I would take care of it myself. Were is it written that the criminal will always win a confrontation?, enter my house , you enter hell.
15 years as a Recon Marine, Ill end it , clean it up before any cop can get his fat ass out of a donut shop and get to my house.
then again, Police arent the bad guys, they are more envolved in traffic enforcement and getting more money from law abiding tax payers. It not your fault either..I know.
15 years as a Recon Marine?
15 years as a Recon Marine? riggghhttt.... you can't even spell involved...I know it's not your fault....
STFU yourself
you know what, ideally i wouldnt have to call you, i could take matters into my own hands, legally posessing any number of automatic weapons in my home, and kill the person who is attacking me, possibly with my own automated security system if i were smart enough to make it/rich enough to pay for it.
but then...you assholes would come barging into my place, arresting ME for having the balls to not need your help (not that you ever get there BEFORE the victim dies anyway).
then i end up screwed, all because you, and the system you stand for, is a load of crap not even deserving of my respect.
so im sorry to drag your sorry overpaid ass out of bed at night, but hey, its a minor technicality that the decent people have to put up with, all because morons like yourself will follow a useless and inefficient law and arrest those who defend themselves.
and you wonder why a list like this is necessary...?
RE: Don't Call me
all in favour of calling "pigs" "faggots" say I
Too Funny
Thanks to Robert for putting things in perspective. (Full disclosure, I'm in law enforcement) I agree, no one "made" us do this job. We do it because we want to. I personally don't accept the free meals, but it is nice when they offer. I'm betting that at least one of you pre-pubescent posters on here will end up joining law enforcement as a career later in life. Say what you want here, but remember it in the future when you're sitting in your patrol car at 2AM. I speak from experience, I was stupid like you once. So, for now, enjoy your youth, try to minimize your mistakes, "hate" law enforcement, swear you have all the answers to getting out of your latest "mess". I'll be looking for you when you decide to grow up and get a real job. Just as Robert said, if you hate us so much, next time a crime happens to you, call the ACLU see what kind of response you get!
Read the posts...
It's amazing how much the people that have been arrested know about the law...which amounts to literally nothing. I'm a cop, I know the law because I work in it every day.
"Some guy said I attacked him with a knife...I was three states away." YOUR PROBATION OFFICER...well, you did something to get on probation didn't you?
"My nephew talked to a guy (a cop) that was supposed to help him." HE MURDERED SOMEONE and you're upset about confidentiality?
"I committed a crime and got caught, now I'm going to whine about it...cry cry cry." If you are going to play the game, be prepared to pay the price of admission.
Cops know what they are doing. I know when to be an ass and I know when to be nice. It all depends on how much of my time you are going to waste lying to me. EVERYONE lies, even the innocent ones....
My nephew is doing a life
My nephew is doing a life sentence because he admited guilt to a friend (who was a cop) that was going to help him. He did. Helped him get convicted, with no other evidence other than his confession.
I have told my son, - Ask for a lawyer, then STFU! When the lawyer arrives ask for his card, DO NOT ASSUME the guy that comes in is actually a lawyer until you get an ID. The cops are not your friends, they won't "Help" you, it won't go "Easier" on you if you talk to them.
btw, The Fifth Amendment does not proclaim your innocense, It keeps you from incriminating yourself. I will never have to take the fifth if I am innocent.
DUHHH
did this conversation start with...
"now dont be mad...but ive gotta tell you something, promise you wont rat me out..."
followed closely by
"so i was robbing this old man..."
ending with
"and then i stabbed him"
in which case i might be inclined to understand why the cop did something about it. perhaps if it was something minor like weed posession, unlikely if he got LIFE. but if its something serious...the cop isnt a priest, he doesnt have to keep anything to himself...and why the hell your friend would tell a cop i dont know. its not like if i had a friend who happened to work for immigration id tell them id just helped an escaped convict get into the country. your friend might need to go for the "sorry i was a dumbass" plea.
Hummmm, just because he
Hummmm, just because he admitted guilt to a friend....
So the fact, yes the fact, he was guilty had nothing to do with it. He just happened to admit he did it so someone.
You are all friggin morons.
1. Don't do anything to get arrested.
2. If you are wrongly accused then the truth will come out.
3. If you do not let them search, then you have something to hide.
4. If you do not know "about that baggie of weed your friend left" then you probably need to surround yourself with better people.
5. Use your fifth amendment right. Yes, I said it. Do not admit guilt do not admit innocence.
6. Be polite. Cops have ways of indicating that you are an asshole without you really knowing. Does your drivers license have any ticks, scratches, etc.? Well if it has more than five on the edge than cops that have pulled you over think you are an asshole and you treat them like ass. (Illegal in some states but they come up with other ways.) So they are going to make that small speeding ticket as painful as possible. Uh-oh. You know that light that lights up your license plate? Well its actually out and he is going to serve you a ticket for that too. Why? Because he is supposed to. And it is going to take a while so he can look at your ENTIRE record. Even if the officer acts like a complete prick smile and kill him with kindness.
7. Cops are there for help. I have met all kinds of cops from cops that are rude and act like asses to cops that are nice and understanding. But they will all help you regardless of how they act.
You cop butthole kissing asshole!
You put the douche in douchebag! In response to your comments,
1 He stated that this was a "what if" scenario. Most people don't do things to get arrested. But innocent people do get arrested. I mean hey look at O.J.
2 Look at O.J. again! He was wrongly accused and the truth came out right! The systems works perfectly.
3 I will not let some bitch boy, that got his ass kicked all through high school so to get a little respect became a cop, search my shit ever. I don't care if I have groceries in the trunk or a friggin corpse wrapped in cocaine filled baggies! Why? Because fuck him thats why!
4 People may leave trash in your car, maybe there keys or sunglasses....no one leaves their weed behind. People just say "it must be my buddies" when they get busted.
5 You just qualified the guy writing the article ya big dummy! IN OTHER WORDS, SHUT THE FUCK UP LIKE HE SAID!
6 If your quiet (not saying shit) you are being polite. You say cops have a way of telling if your an asshole? I have a way of telling if cops are assholes too. They wear badges and and need guns to back there shit up.
7 Lastly cops ARE there to help you. Lets not forget they are public servants. Most of them have forgotten that fact and are bullies acting out in a manner to ensure we respect their Authoritah! They picked the fuckin job. No one made them do it, so stop crying about how hard they have it and how the pay isnt good enough. You should have been a lawyer. But then again lawyers cant bully highschool kids into giving them bj's to get out of a ticket.
Please don't tell me you
Please don't tell me you think O. J. was innocent...... Holy God... that doesn't say much for you level of intelligence.
Sounds like you gave out a
Sounds like you gave out a lot of BJ.. Did you get out of your ticket?
For # 3 I don't need you to
For # 3 I don't need you to let me in your vehicle. Its CALLED A K-9, (police DOG) need to let you know what that was because you did not get out of high school ...
One more thing; After you
One more thing; After you have given the minimum info to the police, they should charge you and read you your Miranda, the only words that should come out of your mouth at this point in time: I WANT A LAWYER! Then, you should practice STFU! and not say another word until a bona fide IDENTFIED lawyer shows up for you.
Not At All Even Close To Being True
"1. Don't do anything to get arrested.
2. If you are wrongly accused then the truth will come out.
3. If you do not let them search, then you have something to hide."
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Yeah Right!! Do you know how many things people do in a day that can lead to an arrest...
Breast feeding is not allowed in public. AL
Boogers may not be flicked into the wind. AL
Sex toys are illegal. GA
It’s against the law to sing off key. NC
While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position. US
Oral sex is considered a crime against nature. NC
2. I spent 2yrs. and 3mo. in juvenile lockup because a guy said i ran him off the road and then tried to stab him with a pocket knife... his witness said i ran him off the road and went back to my car and got a butcher knife... i was 3 states away when it supposedly happened and didn't return home until 3 days later and my probation officer knew that i was gone...
3. I wont let them search because i have first hand experience of how crooked 83% of them are.
Cops...
IF YOU GET PULLED OVER FOR A DUI AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE DRUNK...DO WHAT I DID....WHEN THE COPS HAVE STAND OUTSIDE TO DO THE FIELD SOBRIETY TEST...JUST SHIT YOUR PANTS...AND THAN SAY YOU ARE SORRY TO THE OFFICERS....LET THEM GET A WHIFF OF IT,,,,I DID THIS AND THEY JUST MADE ME LOCK UP MY CAR AND WALK HOME....LOL....LMAO...
FUCK YEAH !
FUCK YEAH !
once in a while, it may help
once in a while, it may help to tell the cop something to help yourself out of a sticky situation because some cops are too dumb to pick up on the obvious.
i ripped the diamond necklace off my cheating girlfriend's neck and was arrested for robbery. finger-printed and "booked". i was released after i explained how stupid they would look in court when i showed the receipt with my name on it. it was on loan Columbo! Prove otherwise.
It dosen't matter who bought
It dosen't matter who bought it. If you gave it to your whore then it is hers and you could be arrested for stealing it back. I would also like to see you arrested for assault. YOU ARE A RETARD.
Here's one for you.
I was in a motorcycle accident due to a bike malfunction in rush hour traffic, the cop that finally came was more interested in getting my license and registration than calling me an ambulance, meanwhile my wrist was broken and I had a severe concussion. He actually stood and watched as I struggled to get my wallet out of my back pack.
Let me guess, your brakes
Let me guess, your brakes failed and you ran into the back of someone. I'm sure it wasn't becasue you were following too close or were traveling too fast.
Oh ya, by the way, the dispatcher called for medical when they sent the officer.
oh and im sure that all car
oh and im sure that all car drivers are perfect drivers too. never mind the fact that ANY time i go out on my bike, i usually end up having 3 different people trying to kill me. people in automobiles dont pay attention to motorcyclists, they look through us, they cut us off, they dont "see" us, theyre too busy.... he may have been foloowing too closely, but dont be so quick to point the finger.
Well then get yourself 2
Well then get yourself 2 more wheels and you'll be safer.
Hoorah! You just qualified
Hoorah! You just qualified yourself as an idiot with that stupid comeback.
Well, one can talk himself out…
Of course, this is absolutely not guaranteed to work all the time.
I was able to talk myself out of being charged for vandalism after I kicked a minivan that nearly ran me down while I was crossing a green light. The nearby police cruiser didn’t miss a second of it and wasted no time yelling at me.
When I pointed out that the bitch nearly killed me, and that I was willing to jump in the car so they can chase her, they simply let me go. After all, it breaks the cops heart to go after a motorist who nearly killed a pedestrian…
Nearly Killed
I got hit by a car once and ended up rolling up their hood and breaking their windshield. When the officer arrived, the woman MADE him go through the big deal of me breaking her windshield, even though I'd been hit in a crosswalk. The officer had to follow his protocal, and the shit didn't get dropped until court. A huge hassle, but the officer didn't have a choice in the matter.
At the time, I was thinking "WTF, dude? I got hit by a car!" But later I found out that the officer had to handle the situation just that way, even though he knew her claim was bunk.
Also, being polite has gotten me out of a number of tickets and things. "Yes, sir. I am carrying a concealed weapon. It is a ___." "You may look wherever. I have nothing to hide." Or just explaining everything truthfully. "It's been a bad day. I just want to get home and blow off steam."
And if your friend is carrying anything illegal, make it clear that whatever they have must remain on them. Tell the officer that they can search you and your vehicle, but your friends speak for themselves, and you do not allow anyone to carry drugs or whatever in your car. Though, that's a personal rule of mine to keep myself out of trouble.
Police Tactics
The police rely on the fact the citizen doesn't really know the boundaries of their authority. They are trained to deceive you into offering information, and most people do. The uniform is also designed to intimidate.
If they are there to arrest you, they will anyway.
cool...inconsistent.
"Put Your Hands Behind Your Back" and do NOT do any of these Ten Things:"
"Follow these ten simply rules religiously and many of your rights will remain intact."

Brilliant.
This article is great.
This article is great. Thanks :) It might come handy
Cops are Pigs...
COPs ARE PIGS
Don't forget it...
what did you say, I forgot,
what did you say, I forgot,
i disagree with point 8 in
i disagree with point 8 in certain instances. Not opening up will be fine in some instances, but in most it won't work. If the police are there for a reason, i feel that one is better off to gather necessities needed and as quickly as possible, exit your home and deal with the situation. Do not re-enter your home. Make sure you are prepared for any situ (detainment, further questioning, arrest etc.) once you leave your home to deal with the police. Above all, never let them have the opportunity to see into your home, let alone the opportunity to enter it, unless of course they have the right.....
Good advice!
Good advice, I like it but not sure I can do like this or not once bad situation happen to me.
