What to Do If You’re Arrested for a Crime You Didn’t Commit

Being falsely accused and arrested is terrifying. Knowing your rights and taking the right steps can help you avoid wrongful conviction.

1. Stay Calm and Do NOT Resist Arrest

Even if you’re innocent, resisting arrest can lead to additional charges. Remain calm and comply, but remember **you do NOT have to answer questions**.

2. Do NOT Talk to Police Without a Lawyer

Anything you say can be used against you. If police question you, politely say:

❌ **”I am invoking my right to remain silent.”**
📞 **”I want to speak to my attorney before answering any questions.”**

3. Gather Evidence to Prove Your Innocence

If possible, collect evidence such as:

📑 **Texts, emails, or call logs** showing where you were.
🎥 **Surveillance footage** proving your location.
👥 **Witnesses** who can confirm your alibi.

4. Contact an Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer

A skilled lawyer can:

✔ Investigate the false allegations.
✔ Challenge weak or misleading evidence.
✔ Work to get charges dropped before trial.

6. What Happens If You’re Charged?
