"What do I do If I am arrested?"
You're probably hoping you never have to ask that question, right?
There are some critical things to say and NOT say if you are arrested
or detained in an immigration law procedure. The things you say really can, and will, be
used against you. Immigration law is incredibly complex. Get the
knowledge to prevail in your immigration matter.
Hemet, CA Immigration Attorney, John
Mansfield, explains:
One of the most common questions I get is
"What do I do, Attorney, If I Am Detained or I'm arrested, or I
get put in custody." The best advice that I can give you, when
you walk away from this video, is only one thingÉthat is, do not say
anything to the either the police or the federal agent or ICE
official who took you into custody! Just like in a criminal case,
anything you say can or will be used against you. You have to be very
careful and I strongly recommend that you exercise your right to
remain silent.
You can and very well maybe pressured,
threatened, coerced, intimidated to divulge, to give information or
to even to sign a documents, you mustn't do that. You must not give
in to the pressure to do that. Trust me, you'll be sorry if you give
in to that kind of pressure. You need to know that you have the right
to be silent, to call your attorney, and you also have the right to a
bail here. And those are very very important for you to remember and
to understand.
Because this does involve a serious matter of
your freedom and your liberty and as well as your family's. I can't
tell you how ripped the part of the families get if they don't handle
the situations right. It's difficult enough if the family member gets
arrested and taken away and put into custody handling proceedings and
who knows what will happen. However if you handle the initial parts
of these properly, you and your family can come out ahead and
prevail and someday we'll back on this with the great deal and
satisfaction and relief that you understand properly.
It is
very important that you have my number if this unfortunate situations
happens to you. Hopefully it won't. But it's better to be prepared so
I would encourage you to write down my number. Put it on your wallet,
put it on your purse, in your car where you can easily access it
preferably somewhere on your purse so that if worst comes to worst,
you'll have it maybe you'll able to utilized it, so we can help
you.
Hopefully this is been helpful, and remember: know you
rights before you undertake something as important as immigration
law.
