your rights when stopped by the police!
*WARNING! (This may, if it applies to you, save your life)
*It should be noted that these rights may not apply if you are in the process of
DWB (Driving While Black) in any of the 50 states 16 U. S. territories.

------------------------------
YOUR RIGHTS
- You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to exercise that right, say so out loud.
- You have the right to refuse to consent to a search of yourself, your car or your home.
- If you are not under arrest, you have the right to calmly leave.
- You have the right to a lawyer if you are arrested. Ask for one immediately.
- Regardless of your immigration or citizenship status, you have constitutional rights.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Do stay calm and be polite.
- Do not interfere with or obstruct the police.
- Do not lie or give false documents.
- Do prepare yourself and your family in case you are arrested.
- Do remember the details of the encounter.
- Do file a written complaint or call your local ACLU if you feel your rights have been violated.
IF YOU ARE STOPPED FOR QUESTIONING
Stay calm.
Don't run. Don't argue, resist or obstruct the police, even if you are
innocent or police are violating your rights. Keep your hands where
police can see them.
Ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, calmly and silently walk away. If you are under arrest, you have a right to know why.
You have the right to remain silent
and cannot be punished for refusing to answer questions. If you wish
to remain silent, tell the officer out loud. In some states, you must
give your name if asked to identify yourself.
You do not have to consent to a search
of yourself or your belongings, but police may "pat down" your
clothing if they suspect a weapon. You should not physically resist,
but you have the right to refuse consent for any further search. If you
do consent, it can affect you later in court.
IF YOU
ARE STOPPED IN YOUR CAR
Stop the car in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the car, turn on the internal light, open the window part way and place your hands on the wheel.
Upon request, show police your driver's license, registration and proof of insurance.
If an officer or immigration agent asks to look inside your car, you can refuse to consent to the search. But if police believe your car contains evidence of a crime, your car can be searched without your consent.
Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent. If you are a passenger, you can ask if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, sit silently or calmly
leave. Even if the officer says no, you have the right to remain silent.
IF YOU ARE QUESTIONED ABOUT YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS
You have the right to remain silent and do not have to discuss your immigration or citizenship status
with police, immigration agents or any other officials. You do not have
to answer questions about where you were born, whether you are a U.S.
citizen, or how you entered the country. (Separate rules apply at
international borders and airports, and for individuals on certain
nonimmigrant visas, including tourists and business travelers.)
If
you are not a U.S. citizen and an immigration agent requests your
immigration papers, you must show them if you have them with you. If you are over 18, carry your immigration documents
with you at all times. If you do not have immigration papers, say you want to remain silent.
Do not lie about your citizenship status or provide fake documents.
IF THE POLICE OR IMMIGRATION AGENTS COME TO YOUR HOME
If the police or immigration agents come to your home, you do not have to let them in unless they have certain kinds of warrants.
Ask the officer to slip the warrant under the door or hold it up to the window so you can inspect it.
A search warrant allows police to enter the address listed on the
warrant, but officers can only search the areas and for the items
listed. An arrest warrant allows police to enter the
home of the person listed on the warrant if they believe the person is
inside. A warrant of removal/deportation (ICE warrant) does not allow
officers to enter a home without consent.
Even if officers have a warrant, you have the right to remain silent. If you choose to speak to the officers,
step outside and close the door.
IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY THE FBI
If an FBI agent comes to your home or workplace, you do not have to answer any questions. Tell the agent you want to
speak to a lawyer
first.
If you are asked to meet with FBI agents for an interview, you have the right to say you do not want to be interviewed. If you agree to an interview, have a lawyer present. You do not have to answer any questions you feel uncomfortable answering, and can say that you will only answer questions on a specific topic.
IF YOU ARE ARRESTED
Do not resist arrest,even if you believe the arrest is unfair.
Say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately.
Don't give any explanations or excuses. If you can't pay for a
lawyer, you have the right to a free one. Don't say anything, sign
anything or make any decisions without a lawyer.
You have the right to make a local phone call.
The police cannot listen if you call a lawyer.
Prepare yourself and your family in case you are arrested. Memorize the phone numbers of your family and your lawyer. Make emergency plans if you have children or take medication.
Special considerations for non-citizens:
- Ask your lawyer about the effect of a criminal conviction or plea on your immigration status.
- Don't discuss your immigration status with anyone but your lawyer.
-
While you are in jail, an immigration agent may visit you. Do not
answer questions or sign anything before talking to a lawyer.
- Read all papers fully. If you do not understand or cannot read the
papers, tell the officer you need an interpreter.
IF YOU ARE TAKEN INTO IMMIGRATION (OR "ICE") CUSTODY
You have the right to a lawyer, but the government does not have to provide one for you.
If you do not have a lawyer, ask for a list of free or low-cost legal services.
You have the right to contact your consulate or have an officer inform the consulate of your arrest.
Tell the ICE agent you wish to remain silent.
Do not discuss your immigration status with anyone but your lawyer.
Do not sign anything,
such as a voluntary departure or stipulated removal, without talking
to a lawyer. If you sign, you may be giving up your opportunity to try
to stay in the U.S.
Remember your immigration number ("A" number) and give it to your family.
It will help family members locate you.
Keep a copy of your immigration documents with someone you trust.
IF YOU FEEL YOUR RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED
Remember: police misconduct cannot be challenged on the street. Don't physically resist officers or threaten to file a complaint.
Write down everything you remember,
including officers' badge and patrol car numbers, which agency the
officers were from, and any other details. Get contact information for
witnesses. If you are injured, take photographs of your injuries (but
seek medical attention first).
File a written complaint with the agency's internal affairs division or civilian complaint
board. In most cases, you can file a complaint anonymously if you wish.
