You Better Watch Out if You're Arrested...

Sunday December 20, 2009


Like what happened to Sober1205 on the forum. He was arrested at home and brought to the police station on an outstanding warrant. At the station, he requested an interpreter and a TTY. Both the interpreter and the TTY were denied! As a result, Sober1205 was stuck in jail for three days with no way to make a call, and no interpreter either. What could or should he have done in that situation? The only "advice" I was able to give was to file a complaint.
