Find a video called "BUSTED" and watch it. Then watch it again while taking notes. Then memorize these three lines:

1) "I do not consent to any searches."
2) "Officer, am I free to go?"
3) "Officer, I do not have anything to say to you."

Memorize those lines, and know when to say them. Never let the police search your house or your car; you have nothing to gain from it. The second is important to ask when an officer has you step out of a car or being taken somewhere. You NEED TO KNOW if you are being detained. The last one is probably the most important; unless you have a lawyer present, shut the hell up.

The job of a police officer is to find criminals and arrest them. They will do anything within their ability to perform their job, and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know and excercise your rights. You should always be courteous and respectful to a police officer, but don't let them scare you into giving up your rights.

Remember: You have the right to be free of unreasonable search and seizures, and you have the right not to incriminate yourself. NEVER GIVE UP THESE RIGHTS.
