Know Your Rights: What to Do If You're Stopped by the Police

To fight police abuse effectively you need to know your rights. There are some things you should do, some things you must do and some things you cannot do. If you are in the middle of a police encounter, you need a handy and quick reference to remind you what your rights and obligations are.

Carry it in your wallet, pocket, or glove compartment to give you quick access to your rights and obligations concerning police encounters.
