What to Do If You’re Arrested in Polk County

What you do in the first few minutes can affect your entire case. Follow these steps.

1

Stay calm and be polite. Do not resist arrest. Argue your case in the courtroom, not on the street.

2

Exercise your right to remain silent. Tell officers: “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”

3

Do not consent to searches. You have the right to refuse searches of your person, vehicle, and home.

4

Ask for a lawyer immediately. Say: “I want to speak with my attorney before answering any questions.”
