After your arrest, a police officer must inform you of the charge against you or the reason for your arrest.  Without unnecessary delay, he must take you before a judicial official, usually a magistrate, advise you of your right to communicate with a lawyer or friends, and give you a reasonable opportunity to do so.

The officer may take you somewhere else before he takes you to a judicial official if you request it or if it is necessary for the purpose of having you identified.  You may also be photographed and fingerprinted after being arrested.
