Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if I have been arrested?

    If you have been arrested, truthfully answer all questions about your identification - such as name, address, and birth date. While you have the right to refrain from answering self-incriminating questions, lying is never a good idea. Giving officers a hard time during the arrest process is also not beneficial. It will usually just make things tougher on you.

  • What is the difference between being detained and being arrested?

    If a law enforcement officer suspects you are involved in criminal activity, you may be detained for a short time, but you are free to leave after that. If you are arrested, the police take you into custody, and you are not free to leave.

  • What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

    Most crimes are divided into two categories based on the severity of the crime—misdemeanor and felony. State law governs which crimes are considered more severe than others. A misdemeanor is a crime where the maximum penalty is one year or less in state prison, in addition to fines, probation, and community service. A felony is a more severe crime that can subject those convicted to jail time for more than one year and, in the most extreme offenses, may warrant capital punishment. Felony charges also bring other legal repercussions if the defendant is convicted.

  • What types of punishments do I face if convicted of a crime?

    Sentencing can vary depending on the location of the case, the crime, the judge, sometimes jury, and other specifics of the case. The federal sentencing guidelines may govern punishment for a particular crime, and the judge does not have a big impact on determining the sentence. In other cases, the sentence is up to the judge's discretion. Here, the judge considers several factors when determining punishment. The most common penalties for a criminal conviction include:


    • Jail, prison, or other detention facility sentence
    • Punitive fines
    • Restitution or compensation to the victim
    • Probation
    • Community service
  • What are my rights if I have been accused of a crime?

    Those accused of crimes have several rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. These rights include:


    • The right to avoid self-incrimination
    • The right to competent legal representation
    • The right to reasonable bail
    • The right to a fair and public trial
    • The right to be informed of the charges against you
    • The right to be confronted with the witnesses against you and to gather witnesses of your own
    • The right to a speedy trial
    • The right to face your accusers

    The person accused of the crime is also presumed innocent until proven guilty. This means the prosecutor has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed the criminal act in question. You do not have to do anything or say anything to prove you are innocent.
