Busted: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters
What Do You Do?The US Constitution protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures by the police. However, if you don't know your rights and know how to assert your rights, you can be easily tricked into surrendering your rights. The police are not your friends; their job is to arrest and help convict you and they are well-trained in the art of helping you incriminate yourself. Busted: A Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters is a 45-minute DVD presented by the Flex Your Rights organization and narrated by former ACLU Executive Director Ira Glasser. This DVD will show you the wrong way, then the right way, to deal with the three most common police/citizen encounters: the traffic stop, the sidewalk stop, and the home visit. Click here to get your own copy and make it required viewing for all of your friends. Oregon NORML presents the Busted DVD at all of our tabling events and meetings. Check the calendar and come see the DVD for yourself. Cannabis Information & Entertainment LinksThese links to websites are provided for the educational
