One of the first rules of being arrested is being completely honest with your attorney. More than anyone else, they can help you out of the pickle you\u2019re in. They\u2019ll represent you in court and will try to prove you innocent; but for this, they need access to certain resources and documents<\/a>\u2014all of which should be authentic and original.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the documents you\u2019ll need to provide to your lawyer:<\/p>\n

a.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The arrest record<\/h2>\n

Right after you get arrested, the police officer will document the arrest. These documents are like written copy or evidence of your arrest.<\/p>\n

They also contain details such as the date, time, and place of your arrest. In some cases, the report may also mention details of the suspected crime that was allegedly committed. The attorney will want to know all these details to make sure there are no discrepancies and to ensure that the report reflects actual events.<\/p>\n

b.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The police file<\/h2>\n

In some cases, the police may also create a file regarding your case during the investigation period. This file usually includes photographic evidence, maps, evidence logs, important notes from interviews, and any other information that was uncovered during said investigation.<\/p>\n

\"documents\"<\/p>\n

Your attorney has a right to go through the entire file. This is the kind of information that will help them build a strong defense. Very often, this information can be the difference between whether a judge exonerates or incriminates you. However, the actual file will always remain in police records. You\u2019ll only be allowed to acquire a copy.<\/p>\n

c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your criminal record<\/h2>\n

Your past record also has an important role to play when it comes to the proceedings of the case. This is why your attorney should be informed about your criminal record. These copies may be obtained from the relevant jurisdictions where your past convictions took place. You\u2019ll have to request a copy by writing an application to the relevant authorities.<\/p>\n

This report will not only show all the crimes you\u2019ve ever been arrested for, but will also mention whether you served any jail time for any of these crimes.<\/p>\n

It is generally not a great idea to hide these details\u2014or any\u2014from your attorney.<\/p>\n

d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Your medical records<\/h2>\n

These records are only useful in certain cases. Let\u2019s look at an example. Let\u2019s say you have asthma and are advised by your doctor to not run\u2014or even jog\u2014for more than one block. For that matter, you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If a case report says a victim was chased ten blocks before they were murdered, your attorney can enter this record as evidence.<\/p>\n

You may also need medical evidence if you were under the influence of some prescription drugs at the time of an alleged crime and the drugs impaired your ability to act appropriately.<\/p>\n
