After you are arrested, you are moved from the site of the stop to the local police station. There you will be questioned, finger-printed, photographed, and may have belongings taken from you and cataloged. You are not required to answer questions at this time, even though they are often extremely basic inquiries.
You also have the right to have an attorney present and the Law Office of Timothy S. note believe you should invoke your right to counsel immediately upon arrest. No matter what the charge, having your lawyer with you as soon as possible will keep him or her better informed about your case.
After you are represented by counsel, either by choice or by public defender, you will be required to go before a judge and enter a plea to the crime with which you are charged.
