Know your Rights

If you are stopped by the police, you do not have to consent to a search. If they do not have a warrant, you need not allow them to search your house, your car or your person.

You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer questions about your conduct. If you are arrested, you can help your case by asking for a lawyer, then keeping silent. Do not make any statements, written or otherwise, without clearing it with your attorney first.
