Know Your Rights


Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself 



Dear ACLU of Texas supporter,

Over the past few weeks, thousands of individuals have been protesting
around the country, and here in Texas, as a part of the "Occupy Wall Street"
movement. So, it's a good time to remember that public debate is essential
to a free society.

If you are planning to protest,
<http://tx.aclu.org/site/R?i=mHvTVnaUw59K0Bw3p8jtsA> make sure you know your
rights, and what to do if you're stopped by police.

*	You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to exercise that
right, say so out loud.
*	You have the right to refuse to consent to a search of yourself,
your car, or your home.
*	You are required to provide your name, address, or date of birth to
a law enforcement officer upon request.
*	You can be arrested for refusing to identify yourself to an officer.
*	If you are not under arrest, you have the right to calmly leave.
*	What you say to the police is always important. What you say can be
used against you, and it can give the police and excuse to arrest you --
especially if you "bad mouth" an officer.
*	You may photograph or videotape police officers performing their job
in public, but do not interfere with police action.

Our goal is to foster First Amendment-positive situations wherever
demonstrations occur in our state. Learn how to effectively organize for a
cause this Saturday, November 5, at our local activist training in Houston.
