Almost everyone has seen those old movies where the accused is arrested and taken down to the police station. The accused can always be counted on to shout out something like "I know my rights! I'm entitled to call my lawyer! You can't pin anything on me! One phone call and I'm outta here!" But does it really happen that way? The fact is that while the movies have sensationalized things, they are not that far off the mark. If you are arrested you do have rights; and it is up to the police to make you aware of them.
