Santa Said do this!

If You are Arrested for possession of Marijuana!

1. Do not resist the police Officers, Resisting arrest is a crime in itself.

2. Do not offer any comments about your predicament to the police.

3. Do not sign any statements.

4. You may be searched, photographed and finger-printed. Notice carefully what is done. If any personal property is taken from you, ask for a written receipt.

5. Immediately following your arrest, the police should advise you of your Miranda rights: You have the right to remain silent. If you choose not to do so, anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed. If the police fail to advise you of your Miranda rights, this omission may help your case.

6. As soon as possible, call your lawyer.

Client-Lawyer confidentiality will apply to your discussion. Your lawyer will ask you when, where and why you were arrested. He or she will also ask you who the arresting officer was, whether you were mistreated, and where you were taken. Your lawyer will arrange to meet with you as soon as possible. In most states and the USVI, statutes provide the right to make a reasonable number of phone calls. You should not discuss the details of your case on the telephone, as you may be overheard. Do not talk about your case with a prosecuting attorney, police officers, cell mates, news reporters, or anyone else. Do not answer questions until your lawyer arrives. Otherwise, any oral or written statement may be used against you at trial--as either direct evidence or guilt or to impeach your testimony. Your silence cannot be used against you. Do not participate in any lineup or other physical examination until your lawyer arrives. If the police force you to do so, do not physically resist. If news reporters photograph you, try to remain calm and do not cover up your face. This could imply guilt to some people. Tell your lawyer if the police are planning to move you.

7. So Just relax and take that hit!
