Is there someone accused you of a crime that caused you to be arrested?

If you have been arrested, the best way to do is to contact a lawyer right away.The police only arrest you if they think that you broke some laws. Most people who are arrested are motorist. Drivers broke laws due to unfamiliarity of traffic rules of a certain state.

If you are arrested, what will you do?

When arrested by the police, they usually place handcuff to you and take you to the police station for interrogations.If the police take you into custody you have the right to ask the police officer if you are under arrest. The police should tell you that you are under arrest unless it is not an order for them to do so. Like for example you are continuously arguing about your case then the police will not say a thing in order to you to be silent.

There are amendments which states clearly that no person with a criminal case can be a witness against him or herself, or even be deprived of life, liberty or property, without presence of due process of law; that the accused shall have the rights to have a public trial by an impartial jury; that either excessive bail or excessive fines will be imposed; and that cruel and unusual punishments will not be inflicted.

Arresting officers with warrant

Any police officer can make an arrest, with a warrant but sometimes without one.A warrant is defined as an order of describing the person to be arrested for charges which he/she was involved. A warrant of arrest is issued by a judge when a complaint has been made, and it directs law enforcement officers like the police to arrest a certain person and bring that person in to their custody before that person will be turn over to court. A law enforcement officer must show warrant of arrest before they will bring the suspect into their custody unless the following circumstances occur:

• An officer has reasonable ground to believe that a warrant for arrest has been issued in the state or in another jurisdiction.
• The accused committed or attempted to commit a crime in the presence of the law enforcement officer.
• The law enforcement officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a crime has been committed and that the accused are the person who did it.

It is important to know that when you are arrested you should not be detained in police custody for more than 24 hours without being charged, unless a judge or a magistrate gives permission. If you are accused of any crime, the maximum time that you may be detained in police custody is 96 hours. If you have been charged with a crime, then you must appear before a judge court. The police have the right to decide whether you can be released on bail, or whether you must remain in their custody until your court hearing.
