“Ok, ok, don’t shoot,” you say as you get out
of the car with your arms raised, “I didn’t do anything!”
“That’s what all the criminals say,” yells
one of the officers as he grabs your arms and slaps a set of handcuffs on your

“I don’t know how this car got here,” you
insist as the police lead you to the waiting patrol car.
“Well, we have evidence that says
otherwise,” the officer replies. As he pushes you into the back seat, he says,
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law. Do you understand that right?”
If you decide to exercise your right to remain silent and not talk
to the police until your lawyer arrives
If you agree to answer questions without a lawyer to prove your
innocence
