dk, I think will's OP is more asking, what can be done RIGHT THEN to assert my rights? When pulled over for speeding, one has the right to refuse a search of the vehicle, for instance. When being beaten by a police officer, ones rights are not so clear. Fighting back WILL result in a charge of assaulting an office. Running (unsuccessfully) WILL result in a charge of evading arrest (what ACLU Rights Watch refers to as a "contempt of cop" charge).

The use of police force to "subdue" peaceful protesters is highly problematic.
