Better yet is to have a law firm that will personally answer the phone 24/7/365 days a year.

While it may be a funny quip, “in real life” it’s a quip that no meaning in reality... LOL...
In actual fact, all it takes is being prepared, knowing who you would call if necessary (but you don’t have to have them on a retainer) and having their business card ready and available (something that costs nothing). If you do it right (and there are forms in which you can “prepare” for any such encounter with police) — it will cost nothing and you will not even have to call the lawyer’s office.
If you do have to call the office — then you *really do need him*... LOL...
