Arrested in Maryland? You do have rights, but you need to protect them. If you have been arrested, everything you say and do can and will be used against you. In fact, things you may say before you talk to a defense lawyer can make your case much harder to defend. That is why the most important piece of advice any defense lawyer can give you is to contact an attorney immediately. My phones are answered 24/7 and I can meet with you in jail. Call (410) 788-2010 for a free initial consultation. Did the police call you or invite you down to the station to "set the record straight"? Do not talk to the police without your lawyer. The police are not trying to "clear this up." They are not trying to help you. They are gathering evidence against you. You Have the Right to: - Refuse to give a statement or sign anything without having a lawyer present.
- Refuse to grant permission for your car or your home to be searched, unless the police have a warrant. There are circumstances that do allow the police to legally search your house or car without a warrant, but they almost always ask for your consent so that they do not have to defend their actions in court. Do not give consent to search. Ask to see the warrant.
- Ask if you are being arrested and why. If you have not been arrested, you should be cooperative, but you have the right to leave. If the police will not allow you to leave, you are under arrest—no matter what the police tell you.
