List three rights and three defenses a person has after being arrested on suspicion of having committed a crime.
A certain sequence of incidents follows after one is arrested. To comply with your civil and contractual obligations, the police must observe those civil protocols before and after the initial arrest process. An arrest takes place as you are taken into custody by the police and the time you, as the suspect, are no longer able to walk away from the arresting officer 88 is complete.
You have the right to stay quiet and refuse to answer questions. Something you say will be held in a court of law against you. Before talking to the police, you have the right to contact an advocate and to have an advocate available during interviews now or in the future. If you can not afford an attorney, if you wish, one will be named for you before the interrogation.
If you want to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you would always be able to avoid responding at any moment before you speak to an attorney.
