What do I do if I was not given a warrant of arrest but was put to jail?

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
Based on your facts, your rights are being violated. You have a right to know the charges brought against you, due process, a right to confront the witnesses against you, and a speedy trial. What you need is to file a Writ of Habeas Corpus. This writ will force your custodians (jail officers) to present you to a Judge and state the grounds for your arrest and the evidence they have against you. Do not talk further with anyone from the jail until you have spoken with an attorney.

Can I sue that specific officer or the NYPD itself?

Evan H Nass
Answered by attorney Evan H Nass (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nass & Roper Law, LLP
To answer your question; you can sue the officer and the City that employs him/her. You can't sue the NYPD per se.  That being said, if your ticket was dismissed, please call our office and we can likely get you some award for the false arrest. If it wasn't dismissed and you were found guilty (or paid the fine), then unfortunately, there is little you can do.  Again, if it is dismissed, call us at 718-775-3246. Thanks, Evan H. Nass, Esq. Nass & Roper Law, LLP

What should I do if the police want to speak about fraud?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James E. Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at American Family Insurance Group
Do not talk to police. They will be looking for you to say something that they can use against you. You should contact a lawyer. Generally, when we represent an investigated person, we don't let the cops speak with him. I call the investigating officer and explain that my client won't speak with police, and they are not to speak with him. However, I usually offer to let police speak with my client if, and only if, the officer provides me with his investigation notes. Officer's have refused to provide this information. Consequently, I have never let a client speak with the police. I have also yet to have a client charged with a crime in these cases. Significantly, this includes clients the cops told me could be arrested even without their statements. The bottom line is that cops lie, cops get it wrong, and cops aren't out to help you if they want to speak with you. Don't talk to them. Hire a lawyer to help protect you.
