Can I Ask a Cop If I’m Under Arrest?

Yes.

But the cop will avoid an answer.

They will dodge this question as long as possible.

If the officer was trying to entice you to make a voluntary statement you just put him on notice that it's time to fish or cut bait. And if you are being baited it's best to know that before you start telling a police officer everything he needs to arrest you.

All this sounds very mean spirited and cynical. It is neither, it is good advice

Believing for one moment you can talk a cop out of arresting you makes as much sense as giving a Burger King coupon to a raptor.

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation. Jeff
★★★★★
When I travel throughout the world for business I can honestly say that I feel extremely comfortable knowing I can pick up the phone for guidance and know Mr. Behr will consistently have my back with a positive answer on the other end. I attribute my success with my business by having this honorable man on my team. Thomas

He filed motion after motion until the judge finally dismissed my case. He even took it to another judge. The guy never stopped and let nothing stop him. He was all over the prosecutor and knew more law than the judge, it was super cool to watch the man work. He is the best lawyer in the county. Jose
