SUMMARY
-If a police officer stops you on the street, it doesn't always mean they think you’ve committed a crime. Stay polite and answer questions about your name and where you live. If you’re visiting another country, always carry a copy of your ID with you.
-You have the right to remain silent and will never be punished for not answering a question.
-Police officers don't need any written document forcing you to leave the premises but they cannot order you to move if you’re protesting some political issue or taking part in a strike.
-When pulled over by the police, stay calm and polite, step outside if the officer asks you to and only answer questions in connection with the reason you were pulled over.
-Police officers touch your car when they pull you over to leave their fingerprints on it. This can prove that they had an encounter with a certain driver.
-Write down the officer's badge number, their name, or any other identifying information, document your injuries if any, call a lawyer and file a complaint for the mistreatment.
-An officer can never demand money from you, but if that happens, stay polite and pay attention to all details to report the incident later.
-If the officers come to search your house, make sure they have the right warrant to do it, call your lawyer, take note of what’s going on and find somebody to be your witness to watch the search
-If you don't want the police to search your belongings, you have to say out loud, “I do not consent.”
