Document As Much As You Can
In our digital age, the power of documentation cannot be overstated. If circumstances allow, document the sequence of events leading to and following your arrest. This may include taking notes on the interaction with law enforcement, conditions of the arrest, and any other relevant details. A good rule of thumb is to put your cell phone in “record mode” during encounters with law enforcement. If you have a dashcam, that can be a great tool too.
