What to do when one is arrested by police

Many people react differently whenUgandapolice officers come to their homes, workplace or place of worship.

One doesn’t need to answer questions when arrested byUgandapolice. S/he arrested by police should tell the officers who have arrested him/her that you need to speak to a lawyer first.
When one is asked to meet with any police officer for an interrogation, any person has a right to decline to be interrogated. It’s your right to answer questions on specific topic/s.
However it is not good to resist arrest even if one believes the arrest is unfair. It is someone’s right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. And if one can not pay for a lawyer, that person has the right to a free one. Anyone arrested by police has a right to make phone calls.
