National Lawyers Guild NYC: What to do if Someone You Know is Arrested (Tweet)

IF YOU ARE DETAINED

1. Remain calm, do not antagonize the officer(s), and do not escalate the situation. Police get away with brutality, excessive force, and improper arrests under the guise of protecting themselves from the threat of immediate harm.

2. Ask “am I being detained, or am I free to go?” This is a good way to know whether you are being detained in such a manner that requires a reading of your Miranda rights.

3. Please remember that you have the right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. When in doubt, shut your mouth. Anything and everything can be used against you.

4. You do not have to answer any questions or explain your actions to a police officer. “I don’t have to answer questions about my day” is a good phrase to remember.

5. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you have the right to free legal counsel. Remain quiet - no matter what the police say to you, never sign anything or make any decisions without a lawyer present.

6. Courts have upheld that cops are able to say just about anything to a detainee in questioning to get answers or information from them. This includes lying (for example, “your friend we arrested already told us you did XYZ”). Do. Not. Engage.

7. You have the right to a phone call (usually local); if this is to your lawyer, the police can not listen in on it. However, this is not true for calls made to anyone else.

  • If they are officially terrorists we can freeze their assets and drive them all underground. Students for a Democratic Society were driven underground and eventually one Mark Rudd blew himself and a few comrades up making a bomb.

  • That's why they must be classified as a Domestic Terrorist Organization / Criminal Enterprise. Go after their financial accounts, Penalize anyone who funds, give aid, or harbor them. Their penalties must be mandatory 5 years any judge who decides to lessen their sentence should be removed from the bench. This must be done now, not later. 

    • We don't have the time to let the enemy within run amuck and congress is USELESS!
