If you get arrested, DON'T say anything. Ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign anything. Don't agree to anything without a lawyer present.

If you get arrested, demand your right to a local phone call. If you call a lawyer, the police are not allowed to listen. If you call anyone else, they are likely to listen.
