Know Your Rights

**

*1. Don't Leave Weed in Plain View*

*2. Never say "Yes" to a search*
Fourth Amendment rights: If a law enforcement officer asks for your
permission to search SAY NO. If you do consent, you waive your
constitutional rights and the officers may search and seize items without
further authorization.

If you do not consent to a search, the officer must either release you or
detain you and attempt to get a warrant. The fact that you refuse to consent
does not give the officer grounds to obtain a warrant or further detain you.


If an officer asks to search you say:

"I do not consent to a search of my [person, baggage, purse, luggage,
vehicle, house, blood, etc.] I do not consent to this contact and do not
want to answer any questions. If I am not under arrest, I would like to go
now (or be left alone)."

*3. You have the right to remain silent*
Whether arrested or not, you should always exercise the right to remain
silent.

*4. Don't Tick Off The Police*
This is way easier said than done but pissing off the police usually doesn't
work well. Being polite and calm will help you.
