Keep your hands in plain sight and follow their directions; under no circumstances argue with the arresting officer; he has no authority to do anything but to take you in to jail or somewhere; the moment, in most states he tells you that he has a warrant for your arrest, you are in custody. (The rules have changed the instant you are arrested. Let your lawyer figure out when you were arrested; just keep your mouth shut.) (Frankly,the cop probabally does not even know what you are charged with, and even if he does, he doesn't have the slightest authority to deal with the charges. So dont spend your time or give him information which might not do you any good when repeated in a court room before a judge and/or jury, especially, when repeated to an assistant District Attorney with the hots for political advancement, and who clearly knows much more about the operation of the judicial system, the executive/judicial interaction and the court calendar than you know; the Assistant D. A., has no interest in your particular slant on the events, at the time of your arrest by an officer armed with an arrest warrent. Unless you convict youself with your unprotected mouthoff to a cop simply doing his job. So, do your self a favor: keep your mouth shut.) Next point: remember everthing that happens. Your memory might be the difference between probation, fines, slaps on the hand, nol prosequi, dismissal and walking...or a sentence you can live with because the alternatives are really so gross, bad, unpleasent and totally life wrecking that it would have been best not to have been arrested in the first place. Remember: even a fish can't get caught if it keeps its mouth shut.
