Question

When someone is being arrested, what rights does this person have?

Answer 1

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You also have the right to an attorney.

I think thats about it.

Answer 2

Ask for an attorney

Answer 3

the right to remain silent, anything they say can be used against them under court

Answer 4

The charges do not matter his/her rights do,for one thing they have a right to not self incriminate themselves without a lawyer being present,they do not have to answer any questions the police may ask them at the time of there arrest.There miranda rights have to be read to them on the spot.

That is pretty much it except for this one, and that is illegal search and seizure depending on the crime a cop needs your permission to search you if they do not have probable cause,but if they do have cause than they do not need your permission to search you your actions alone give them that authority .

Answer 5

First thing ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY, the Police can not ask you questions without your attorney present.  Do not speak to or cooperate with the Police.  They aren't your friends and they aren't trying to help you.  I repeat DO NOT talk or answer any of the police's questions refuse to answer anything so you do not incriminate yourself.  I talked and told them the honest to God's truth.  I learned the hard way when the police really twisted things around on me, basically lied their A$$ off and put me in the county for 6 months!!!!!!  I swear I was totally innocent, but they had pinned it on me.  NEVER AGAIN, I hate the crooked cops and dirty politicans, they're worse than any criminal.  Protect yourself,  and remember "D.A.D." will always help you.  Deny everything,  Admit nothing, and Demand a Lawyer.        

Answer 6

Miranda warning:

The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says may be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him or her.

Answer 7

Depends on where your achin lil azz lives!

Answer 8

Well I am not sure in other places but in the US:

When someone is being arrested they have something called Miranda rights, a police officer whom is doing the arresting will read the person their Miranda rights, if they do not do this, then that can help the person whom is being arrested in their case.

The following is a minimal Miranda warning:

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.
