Being arrested can be a stressful and confusing experience, but knowing your rights is crucial for protecting yourself in such situations. Here's a brief breakdown of essential rights and steps to take during an arrest:

1. Right to Remain Silent: You have the right to remain silent, as anything you say can be used against you in court. It's often best to politely decline to answer questions until you have a lawyer present.
2. Right to an Attorney: You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, the court will provide one for you. It's important to ask for a lawyer immediately upon being arrested.
3. Right to a Phone Call: Generally, you are allowed to make at least one phone call. It's wise to use this to contact a family member, friend, or your attorney.
4. Do Not Resist Arrest: Even if you believe the arrest is unjust, resisting can lead to additional charges. Remain calm and comply with the officer's requests.
5. Ask if You're Free to Go: If it's not clear, ask the officer if you are under arrest or free to go. This clarifies your status and may be important later in court.
6. Search Rights: Understand that while officers can pat you down for weapons, they cannot search your belongings or vehicle without a warrant, your consent, or certain exigent circumstances.
7. Bail Rights: If eligible, you have the right to post bail and be released until your court hearing.

Remember, each situation is unique, and these are general guidelines. Always consult with a lawyer for advice specific to your case.
