You have to consider your legal rights, the need for obtaining a bail bond, and what to do if you are detained.
If you or someone you love is ever arrested, there are rights that every citizen has at the time of their arrest and after. These rights are provided by amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and cannot be waived by anyone other than you.
- You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say to or in the presence of your arresting officer can and will be used against you in court. If the officer asks you any questions, you have the right not to answer. It is always wise to provide identification and address information when requested.
- You have the right to legal counsel. You can request a lawyer the instant of your arrest, and there are laws which allow you the right to make a single phone call once you’ve arrived at a holding facility. These laws may vary by state. You can use this call to notify your family, request bail, or contact an attorney.
- You have the right to post bail. Under the law of the State of Arizona, bail can be posted by anyone on your behalf. Please note that laws regarding the posting of bail may vary from state to state. If you or your family cannot afford to post bail for you, a bail bonds agency can post bail on your behalf.
While you are free to exercise your rights in case of an arrest, make sure you avoid things you shouldn’t do. Cooperate with your arresting officer’s directions, do not challenge the officer, and contact your bail bondsman right away.
