- Dealing With Police &nbs p; &n bsp; &nbs p; &n bsp; &nbs p; &n bsp; &nbs p; &n bsp; What can I do to protect myself from the police? Basic facts to know when you have an encounter with the police: 1.You have no obligation to talk to the police, ever, unless you are subpoenaed to come to court and asked questions by a lawyer in a hearing. 2.Police don't have to tell you the truth of what they're looking for when they arrive at your house. 3.If you're walking on a street and a police officer wants to talk to you, you do not have to stop and talk to them. 4.Be aware that the police are often looking for something other than what you think they are looking for. 5. If you're in a car, the police need a specific reason to hit their red lights and pull you over. 6.If the police pull you over and you have not apparently violated any law, always be polite, but remember your case might be successfully challenged in court because your constitutional rights were violated. 7. If the police pull you over for a routine traffic stop, you do not ever have to give the police consent to search your car.

- For those giving a "thumbs down" I can only say you're adding to an already egregious problem. The line MUST be drawn somewhere.

- Ihearttheussr: The reason they trample on people's rights is because too many don't know their rights. Also people like jadedtales using the messed up logic of "it's ok to be harassed if you aren't doing anything illegal" encourages the police to do what they want and not be portrayed as criminals in the media.

- The funny thing is, people in the US still actually believe that if they tell a cop something like "no sir, you cannot search my car, or my house, without the proper search warrant" that the cop actually has any obligation to listen to them. To listen to them implies that the cop doesn't have a full run of the law and would possibly run into consequences for not following these principles. Cops can do whatever they want, and they'll use whatever excuse they want to justify it. By resisting you are only inflaming their wounded egos, which will cause them to come down twice as hard on you. You don't want to challenge an asshole with an ego problem. Cops have way too much power in the US, and it's a problem that cannot get resolved by telling them you know your rights and don't have to do this or that.

- Rights my behind, if they want to search your car they will. Last time I tried to stop them I found myself locked in the back of a cruiser for no reason not under arrest. I can't really afford a lawyer to fight it in court either so I guess it worked.

- while this is lovely site containing some delightful (and absolute common sense) information regarding dealing with police officers... if you aren't breaking the law, why would you need to worry?

- Interesting article about what your rights are when you deal with the police. This was written by a resident of Colorado, but I imagine these rules apply all over the US. I'm not a trouble maker, but these could come in handy.
"Stand firm when you are asserting your right to remain silent. Police may tell you they will do something (like arrest you) if you don't talk to them. In general, if they have enough evidence to arrest you, they will whether or not you talk to them. Rarely, if ever, can a person talk his or her way out of an arrest if the police believe they can make a case in Colorado court against the person. Most often, when people being investigated talk to the police, they wind up providing the police with a little bit of information that the police didn't have before, making the case against them worse when it gets to court." - Interesting article about what your rights are when you deal with the police.

- Um, Don't be an ass hat and you won't have a problem with the po-po. DUH. Be friendly to police, bring them cookies and coffee(NO DOUGHNUTS pLZ!) and your new found friends can get you out of those pesky traffic violations:)However, these things can be usefull to know in out of town experinces, where some police can themselves be the Asshats. bad cop=no doughnut
