What should I do if I am arrested for a crime?

First and foremost, do not resist the arrest. Minnesota law does not allow the right to resist an arrest, even if you believe it to be an illegal one. Additionally, do not make any statements to the police as anything you say can and will be used against you in court. Your actions if arrested should be simply to say: “I would like to speak with my attorney”. That is your legal right and the only thing you should say.
