MICHAEL MORAN: When you get arrested, that generally means that the police have probable cause. And probable cause means some sort of inference simply that you have committed a crime. It doesn’t mean it's true, it just means that you're being arrested.

The first thing you should be--do when you're arrested is remain calm, remain polite, listen to what the officer says. He may Mirandize you, and Miranda means that he's going to ask you some questions. I generally believe that you should not ask--answer questions because you're not, you don't know what the police officer is looking for. Usually when you're being Mirandized, they're looking for specific questions. Those questions may hurt you or hinder you. So you're best to invoke your right to remain silent, hire a lawyer and fight the case that way.
