| You have the right to remain silent and to talk to a lawyer before you talk to the police. Tell the police nothing except your name and address. Don't give any explanations, excuses or stories. You can make your defense later, in court, based on what you and your lawyer decide is best. Ask to see a lawyer immediately. If you can't pay for a lawyer, you have the right to legal representation free of charge, and you should ask the police how the lawyer can be contacted. Don't say anything without a lawyer. Within a reasonable time after your arrest or booking, you have the right to make a local phone call: to a lawyer, bail bondsman, a relative or any other person. The police may not listen to the call to the lawyer. Sometimes you can be arrested without bail, or have bail lowered. Have your lawyer ask the judge about this possibility. You must be taken before the judge on the next court day after your arrest. Do not make any decisions in your case until you have talked with a lawyer. |
