When you are stopped by the police, whether at a store or while driving, it’s important to know your rights. There are some good policemen and bad policemen, so you need to know your rights. I learned a lot from working at 2 different law offices fighting for people’s rights. It’s important to remember that while you have these rights, it’s crucial to cooperate with the police and not resist or obstruct their duties. If you feel your rights have been violated, it’s best to seek legal advice and address the issue through appropriate channels. Also always have a hidden camera in your car and on your body that sends automatic video footage to 5 locations. Make sure 4 of the locations are family, lawyer, and 2 are social media accounts . It’s important to check local laws before installing hidden cameras, to make sure it is legal in your state. Here are some information on the laws and your rights as a citizen.
