More details to this question:
This happened in NYC. I was arrested in front of my residence where I own a three family house. The officer physically threw me on my car and handcuffed me. My nine-year-old daughter was in the car and was screaming hysterically. He searched my property unlawfully. He created a disturbance on my street and my neighbors were all out. It was very humiliating. I was detained for an hour. He placed the handcuffs so tight I had black and blue hands. I am scared to drive now.

Are they offering you anything? If not, then your question is way premature. If they do offer you anything, then you should settle for what you can get, but I don't know what that is.
