Of course, the best thing to do is not do anything criminal, but if you are arrested there are a few simple things to remember:

First: Ask for a lawyer, and then wait QUIETLY until a lawyer arrives.

Second: If you are going to talk, think before you speak.

If someone asks you a question and you are going to answer them, use this technique:

1. Take a second (or a few) to think about the question and make sure you understand what is being asked. If you aren't sure, ask them to repeat the question or to clarify what they are asking.

2. Answer the question truthfully with as few words as possible.

3. Do NOT offer any extra comments
