Criminal Law Dos & Don'ts

Dos and Don'ts
If You Are Stopped By Law Enforcement

If you are pulled over or stopped by a police or law enforcement office, how you respond can have a significant impact on the outcome. Here are some important things to remember in this situation.

  • DO provide your name, date of birth, and social security number, if asked.

  • DO remain calm and be polite.

  • DO tell the officer you wish to speak with an attorney before providing any further information.

  • DO NOT provide any additional information or answer additional questions without first consulting an attorney.

  • DO NOT make any admissions, either written or verbal, without first consulting an attorney.

  • DO NOT sign any documents without first consulting an attorney.

  • DO NOT be fooled by the officer’s demeanor or tone; the officer is not looking out for your best interests and he or she is not your friend.

  • DO NOT be rude or belligerent.

If you have been stopped by a law enforcement official, you need experienced legal representation. Contact D'Angelo & Jones to schedule a free initial consultation.
