What to Do If You Are Arrested

If you or a loved one is arrested in Ventersdorp, taking the right steps immediately can prevent procedural issues and speed up the bail process.

1. Exercise Your Right to Silence

Under Section 35 of the Constitution, you have the right to remain silent. Do not make statements, answer incriminating questions, or sign anything until your legal representative from Sutton Attorneys is present.

2. State Your Intention to Call an Attorney

Politely but firmly inform the arresting officers that you wish to call your legal representative. Demand your right to phone your attorney. Call our emergency hotline: 079 692 0748.

3. Do Not Resist Arrest

Cooperate with physical procedures (fingerprinting, booking, placing in custody). Resisting arrest adds secondary charges that complicate getting bail. Maintain a calm, respectful demeanour.

4. Ask for Police Bail First

For minor offences (Schedule 1), police officials are authorised to grant bail at the station. If police bail is refused or if the charge is more serious, our attorneys will step in to negotiate with the prosecutor or coordinate a formal application.
