Note: If such an episode ever should become likely, should you have any advance notice at all, do this one thing: Write your lawyer’s name and phone number on your arm in indelible ink. Or the name and number of whoever else can bring the most immediate and productive aid to your side should you suddenly end up “inside”.
Folks these days sometimes are extremely shocked at how dependence on “smart” phones and “iconic” or audio dialing leaves them unable to quickly remember even their most critical phone numbers.
So, even when they’re afforded that “one phone call” (after having all personal items confiscated), to their utter embarrassment there is truly not one phone number of any use they can recall; “sign of the times”, unimportant, until it becomes incredibly so…
