What should I do when I am being arrested?

The best thing that you can do for yourself is comply with the arresting authorities. This keeps them from piling extra charges onto you. During this time, it is also important to not say anything that might be used against you later. Remember, police cannot force you to give incriminating testimony. You also have the right to consult with an attorney. Contact a San Jose criminal defense lawyer by calling 408-296-4100 right away.
