With the rapidly increasing incidence of police abusing individuals and ignoring their civil rights, everyone should know what their rights are and how to protect it. No longer the first and fourth amendment freedoms and the protection of the founding fathers are. freedom of religion, language, and to gather in peaceful demonstrations are no more rights, nor the right, in front of unreasonable searches and seizures in our homes, cars, jobs and the economy. The police are no longer as public servants, but public Captains who have the laws. Their motto has been perverted to protect and serve to harass and intimidate the.
As in the cases of the UCLA student who was tazered several times by the police on the New York City undercover officers, which is a city street into a shooting gallery, these officers excuse their behavior under the banner of self-defense and expect the public to blindly accept the word valid despite physical evidence to the contrary. They are so arrogant to believe that their word is not or is not in question. However, when they are confronted, and complaints, to harass and threaten her accusers into silence. Those who have the courage to be found on the complaint is skewed in favor of the officials and against the individual. Like a Florida reporter who exposed several law enforcement agencies continues refusing to accept complaints, was subject to legal harassment and unlawful arrests, so it is throughout the country as a law enforcement rallies to protect their own. The blue wall is not a myth or an illusion, but a force that protects renegade officers in the shrouds of silence and sheer brutality. In addition, complaints are at the supervisor of the offender, it is like Don Corleone complaining about one of his deputy's behavior. The members of the Departments of Internal Affairs of the directors or the commissioners and the answer to him or her not to the public. It is in the best interest of the leadership provided by their superiors and not muddy the waters by questioning the officers or their departments' ethics. Civilian complaint boards are only as good as its members want it and not so. Going to the Media and civil actions, the more effective means for victims of police abuse of the right to receive. It is only when the public is more intense atrocities that the law enforcement agencies are forced to take appropriate action.
Although the abusive officers are only a small percentage of the deployment, the officials who know about the abuse and nothing is as bad. In disregard to defend or to protect the perpetrators, they can change the behavior to continue and escalate. Your hands are as bloody as those who do not understand the real harm. By silent or excusing the abuse, they betrayed the trust of the public, according to them and stood in the same category as those who damage. It would be in their own selfish interest to the offender and to restore the honor of their departments. Here they would make their work easier and safer than if they had the cooperation of the public, instead of the public to see law enforcement as just another enemy.
The ACLU has a list of what to do or not, if you have more for questioning by the police. It is not a definitive list, but simple guidelines, you are safe with the prosecuting authorities.
Police Abuse: What to do if you are stopped while driving
1. Think carefully. Choose your words and deeds with caution. Stay calm. Avoid quick movements.
2. Do not get into a dispute or lose your temper. Everything you say or do can be held against you.
3. Not running. Do not touch the official. It can be used as a reason to arrest you.
4. Do not resist. Even if you are innocent, resistance alone is a reason to arrest you.
5. Do not complain. Create a scene or face a conforming only to escalate the situation.
6. Do not include details about the incident. Ask for a lawyer.
7. Write to forget everything, and the officer's name, badge and patrol car number.
8. Try witnesses. Get the names and addresses.
9. If you are injured, document the violations of medical reports and photographs.
10. If your rights have been violated, file a complaint with the police, the internal division or civilian complaint board.
If you have more in your car:
1. Upon request, show them your license, registration and proof of insurance. In certain cases, your car can be searched without a warrant, so long as the police probable cause. To protect yourself later, make it clear that you do not consent to the search. It is not permissible for police to arrest you simply for refusing to consent to a search. (From my own experience, I recommend that you drive with your information. I used to with my hand on the back. If I was, I told the officer that my information on the back seat, he told me to get but when I tried the door, he uses it as an excuse for me to harass and arrest. My hand is now on the passenger seat when I get my drive and all information is readily available.)
2. If you have a ticket, you should sign it, otherwise you can be arrested. You can always fight them in court later.
3. If you are suspected of driving under the influence and refuse to a blood, urine or breath test, your license can be.
If you are arrested and sent to the police station:
1. You have the right to remain silent and speak with an attorney to speak before you at the police. Tell the police nothing except your name and address. Enter any explanations, excuses or stories. Make your defense in court later on what you and your lawyer decide is the best measure.
2. Ask for a lawyer immediately. If you do not pay, you are right to freedom and should ask the police how the lawyer can be contacted. Not to say, without a lawyer.
3. Within a reasonable time after the arrest or booking, you have the right to make a local call. The police can not listen to the call to the lawyer.
4. Sometimes you can be released without bail or the bail reduced. Have your lawyer ask the judge. They must be made before the judge at the court the next day after the arrest.
If the police come to your home:
1. If the police knock and ask if your house, you must not admit them unless they have an arrest warrant from a judge.
2. The exception is in an emergency. For example, if a person screaming for help, or if within the police and someone chasing her.
3. If you are arrested, the police can search you and near to you. If you are in a building near and medium-sized room until you are in.
Everyone is entitled to courteous and respectful treatment by the police. If your rights have been violated, do not deal with him at the moment. Speak with a lawyer or after a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Board or Internal Affairs.
