Once the police have permission to make an arrest, things progress quickly. One moment you are living your life as usual, and the next you are being taken into custody. The short period after arrest is critical to your case. Law enforcement uses this time to question you about the circumstances surrounding your arrest, which leaves you vulnerable to self-incrimination.
