Your state’s first-appearance window, when the public defender attaches, bail / release types, the phone-call rule, recording-police consent, and the expungement window. Sourced from state statutes and court rules. Delivered to your inbox in about 60 seconds.

Why You Can Trust This Data
Every procedural fact comes from the actual text of your state’s statutes, court rules, and public-defender or state-bar publications. No summaries from unnamed sources. No guesswork. Every line links to a source you can check yourself.
When a fact is genuinely county-level rather than statewide, the report flags the gap explicitly — we don’t fill it with a guess. Constitutional protections reference federal and state law directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your state’s procedural facts: first-appearance window, when the public defender attaches, indigency standard, bail / release types, the phone-call rule, recording-police consent, and expungement window. Plus the universal rights checklist, first-72-hours timeline, and a list of statements that hurt defendants. Every state-level fact links to its source statute or court rule.
Yes. The kit is built for the window AFTER arrest. The procedural section maps what the legal system will do next in your state. The rights checklist helps you read backward through the arrest itself; the first-72-hours timeline maps the rest of the window forward.
No. This is legal information drawn from state statutes, court rules, and public-defender / state-bar publications. Every fact links to its source. Decisions about how to use this information stay with you and the people you bring into your case.

Some procedural facts are county-by-county rather than statewide — published bail schedules are the most common gap. When that happens, the report flags the gap explicitly rather than guessing, and the rest of the section reflects what the state-level law does establish. The universal rights checklist and first-72-hours timeline apply in every state.
The Arrest Survival Kit covers what the legal system does next — the procedural map for your state. The Officer Background Check ($97) digs into the arresting officer’s track record across cases. They complement each other: the Kit shows you the procedural floor, the Background Check shows you who’s standing on the other side of the courtroom.
