No, the police do not have to read you your rights when they arrest you.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

NO - especially if DUI and especially when no questions asked your friend after arrest

They can charge friend $50 for indigent fee - friend should file application with Court and let Judge know that friend does not even have the $50 or request $50 be paid in installments

Good luck
