Being arrested is not a good experience, but how you act after being arrested matters – A LOT. If there was ever a time to keep it together, this is it. Yelling and fighting will only make things worse. Don’t do it.
* Don’t resist. That will only add on more charges.
* Don’t talk. People often think that they are smarter than the police and can talk their way out of trouble. It might have worked with your mother, but it won’t work with the police. Whatever you say, they’ve heard before, WILL be used against you and will complicate your defense.

* Do whatever the police tell you to do, but do not give them your permission to perform a search. Tell them that you want to speak to a lawyer. You are not constitutionally required to assist them in finding evidence against you.
