What are my legal rights if I have been arrested for a theft crime?
If you or a loved one has been arrested for a theft crime, you have very specific rights under the United States Constitution that must be legally upheld. These rights state that you have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney, and you have the right to be informed of the charges against you, a right to a fair and speedy trial, and the right to a fair bail amount – among other legal rights. You also have the legal right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
