If you live in the area of Belmont and Calaveras, please have a camera handy and remember these tips.
- Film the interaction. It is very important to have an objective record of what happened. It also might save your life, or protect your rights.
- Ask if you are “being detained or free to go”
- Remain silent. Ask only if “you are being detained or free to go” Do not answer questions without a lawyer present.
- Refuse warrantless searches. Police need a warrant, or reasonable articulate suspicion to search your person, vehicle or house.
- Be polite but firm. Assert yourself in a professional firm manner. Do not allow them to intimidate you or take advantage of you.
