What To Do If You Are Arrested
Being placed under arrest does not always mean that you have been placed in handcuffs or taken to jail. Rather, an “arrest” is any action by law enforcement that indicates an intent to take you into custody or that restricts your movement to a degree that a reasonable person would not feel free to leave the scene. Should you be arrested, you have many rights which you may want to exercise. This provides information from the Erie County Bar Association concerning your rights and what to do when arrested. (2018)
