Arresting Procedure
When arresting someone, you have to read them their rights on the scene of the arrest. The correct rights to read them are as follows:
“You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you
                                              later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

You should be searching the suspect at the scene of the arrest; immediately seizing and ridding any illegal possessions the suspect may have. Any illegal possession should be added as an additional charge. Once any items have been removed, you should then transport the suspect back to the nearest Police Station to begin processing them.

Once you take the prisoner to the station, you are to make sure you offer them their basic human rights. These include: offering them their rights to a lawyer as well as their rights to: food, water and medical attention.
