What to do if you are stopped or arrested by police | USAHello
It is important to know your rights if you are stopped by a police or immigration officer or if you are arrested by police. If you are questioned by law enforcement, be polite and respectful. Pa janm manti, diskite, fè jefò ak, or run away.
Nan Etazini, the police are generally good and want to help you. But you should know your rights. You have rights even if you are not a US citizen. You should know that law enforcement officers may briefly hold and question you if they suspect you were involved in a crime. They might do this even if there are not enough reasons to arrest you.
Ou gen dwa pou yo rete silans ak pa reponn tout kesyon.

Mwen gen pou reponn kesyon mande l nan anfòsman lwa?
Ou gen yon konstitisyonèl dwa pou rete silans se konsa, ou pa bezwen pou reponn kesyon. Ou pa gen pou pale ak nenpòt ofisye yo, ni okenn lòt moun. It is a good idea to talk to a lawyer before answering any questions. Di ofisye polis a ou chwazi pou pa reponn. Men, toujou respect ak ploi plis ke nou kapab.
Try to move slowly and make sure you always keep your hands visible to the officer. Pa o reziste pat yon tonbe ni fouye. Pito yo di, “I do not consent to a search.” Ask the officer if you are free to leave, Si ofisye a menm ki di sa wi, then leave calmly. Sepandan, if the officer says no, you must stay. Pa janm kouri ale bè rout, and keep your hands visible all the time.
E si mwen menm ki pwan swen anpil nan men ofisye lalwa?
Ou gen dwa mande ofisye a pou enfòmasyon l' tankou l' anpil non ak plak. Eseye jwenn temwen e si ou blese pran foto pli vit ke posib. Rele yon avoka oswa biwo pwoteksyon dwa zimen lokal ou a.
