Part 8 of our Arrested 9 part series!

Being arrested is something that they don’t exactly teach you how to handle in school. Many people, when they get arrested or fear getting arrested, don’t have a large community to whom they can turn to ask what the experience will be like. This post is a resource to help answer some basic questions about when you get arrested and some generic tips from someone who has been a district attorney and a criminal defense attorney. This is not legal advice and you should always consult an attorney about your specific situation.
