The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office has released a guide for international visitors to help understand state laws and city regulations amid this year’s FIFA World Cup.
Understanding Local Laws
The guide, titled “Understanding Law Enforcement & Arrest Procedures” warns visitors they may be arrested in case any law is violated during their stay and what to do if that occurs.
“The criminal justice system in Texas — and in the United States as a whole — can look very different from the systems used in many other countries,” Robbie Hoy, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told KERA News in an email.
It explains the jail intake process, court appearances, a person’s rights, types of bonds and how to pay them.
Arlington is hosting nine World Cup matches — the most of any host city.
