Know Your Rights: Guide To Police Encounters
Police officers hate to hear these words:
“Am I free to go?”
“I’m going to remain silent.”
“I don’t consent to a search.”
You have rights at traffic stop or during any encounter with a police officer. Learn what your rights are and use them!
1. Your Safety – Start by putting the police officer at ease. Pull over to a safe place, turn off your ignition, stay in the car and keep your hands on the steering wheel. At night turn on the interior light. Keep your license, registration and proof of insurance close by like in your “sun visor.”
Be courteous, stay calm, smile and don’t complain. Show respect and say things like “sir and no sir.” Never bad-mouth a police officer, stay in control of your words, body language and your emotions. Keep your hands where the police officer can see them. Never touch a police officer and never run away!
2. Never Talk To A Police Officer – You must tell the police officer”I’m going to remain silent.” The only questions you need to answer is your name, address, date of birth, sometimes your social security number but NOTHING else! “In some states you can refuse to give your I.D. card to a police officer, know the laws of your state.” Instead of telling the police officer who you are, give him your driver’s license or your I.D. card. All the information the police officer needs to know about you, can be found on your i.d. card or drivers license. If you can keep your mouth shut, you just might come out ahead more than you expected.
3. Remain Silent – The Supreme Court says you should never talk to a police officer even if you’re not under arrest. The Supreme Court ruled you must speak up and SAY to the police officer “I’m going to remain silent”and then keep your mouth shut even if you’re not under arrest. How can you be falsely accused and charged with a crime, if you don’t say anything? Never talk to a police officer before or after you get arrested. Anything you say or do, can and will be used against you at anytime by the police.
4. Just Say NO to Police Searches! – If a police officer didn’t need your permission to search you, he wouldn’t be asking. Never give permission for a police officer to search you, your car or your home. If a police officer does search you, don’t resist and just keep saying “I don’t consent to this search.” SAYING “NO” DOES NOT GIVE PROBABLE CAUSE!!!
5. Am I Free to Go? -As soon as the police officer ask you a question ask him, “Am I free to go?” You have to ask if you’re “free to go,” otherwise the police officer will think that you’re voluntarily staying around to talk with him. If the police officer says that you’re being detained or arrested tell the police officer, “I’m going to remain silent.”

LOL…….. So your saying that after I comply I have rights? I love how you just go right over the fact that you must comply. No matter what.
You do not have any rights when confronted with the department. They can and will kill you if you show any resistance to them. It does not matter what you think. You could state law after law and it does not mean anything.
That cop has permission to take your life and is waiting for an opening to do it. If you resist in any manner he will escalate the violence and physically force you to comply. If you do not comply he will kill you………… that is a period………………..
He simply says you were obstructing his brand of “justice”. He is not required to understand the law. That is for lawyers and judges. Not street enforcers. That is why they do not go to jail for the crimes against our people. There is no law that restricts their understanding. There are no citizen rights that are being walked on because we never had the right to stop the police from doing what ever they want no matter how criminal it is.
You have no rights when the federalized militia turns it’s attention to you. You must comply or die.
