What rights do you have after being arrested?

You have the right to know the crime or crimes you have been charged with. You have the right to know the identity of the arresting officer. You have the right to remain silent and do not have to answer the officer’s questions. Any statement you provide to the law enforcement officer can be used against you later in court. You also have the right to contact an attorney your family, friends or a bondsperson.
