BUSTED: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters

[likeawoman]

thegreatcurveasked for information on dealing with the police in situations in which they do not have a warrant but want to search your vehicle, home or person. I figure that she's not the only one who could benefit from instruction, or a refresher, on how to thwart pig shenanigans.

so I bring you the always useful and informative ACLU video, BUSTED:

this video is important to everyone. even if you have nothing to hide, it is your duty to defend your constitutional rights. it is the job of the police to protect YOU, not to undermine your rights or abuse their power. be an informed citizen!

hey Rachel, can I link this entry to Wider Angle? (http://widerangle.blogspot.com/)

[likeawoman.livejournal.com]

sure, I'll unlock it.

if you'd like to try embedding it on there, here's the google video location:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4919133238025506698&hl=en

there's a link to blog it and when you click on it, you can get the embed code.

Thanks! If you'd rather have me embed the video on our blog so you can keep the entry locked, I can do that too. I guess it would send more possibly obnoxious random people your way... well, it's your call.

I fear no obnoxious random people. feel free to send 'em my way.

[vicfitz82.livejournal.com]

Alright! Fearless is the way to be. I doubt anybody even reads WA yet, anyway.

hey, for some reason the video is acting wonky. I'll fix it, but I wanted to point it out before you link.

[vicfitz82.livejournal.com]

yeah, i noticed that. no big deal, take your time.

[likeawoman.livejournal.com]

fixed. I don't know what ate my HTML, but I won't be editing it any more, so it should be totally fine. all systems go.

Liftoff! (rocket noises)
