If you are arrested or have an unwanted encounter with the police, you must know your rights. Far too often, police officers abuse their positions of power simply because people are uninformed. Don't let this happen to you.
The American Civil Liberties Union has prepared a handy, pocket card that outlines what to do, and what not to do, if encountered by the police.
Download it, copy it and give it to your friends. Keep it in your wallet, in your pocket or in your glove compartment. And remember, whenever asserting your rights, do so politely and with respect. Your rights are powerful and they speak for themselves.
