Being arrested is one thing that you hope to never come across in your life. Unfortunately, it is possible to find yourself arrested at some point, regardless of whether you are guilty or innocent. The way you behave after you have been arrested determines how big or how small your charges will be. As much as you are trying your best to avoid cases that may lead to your arrest, it is also wise to brace yourself with adequate information on what to expect after you have been arrested. Below are some of these ways through which you should handle yourself after arrest to avoid wrecking havoc to the already complicated situation.
Do Not Be Violent
Getting arrested, especially if you are not on the wrong, makes you not only frustrated but also annoyed. However, as much as you are annoyed, opting for violence as a way to claim your release ends up causing more harm than good. Therefore, as tempting as it may be, try your best and control the feeling that you may have of wanting to fight the arresting officers. After all, you will be fighting a lost battle since you are already arrested, and the officers who are arresting you could be armed. On the other hand, violence means an addition to your charges.
