How to keep THE MAN from putting his thumb on you

I saw this on Boing Boing.

As Americans we (especially these days) need to protect our rights as much as possible. I'll admit, I haven't had the chance to watch the video yet, but I'm sure the general idea is there at least.

HOWTO protect yourself from cops when pulled over
The ACLU A former ACLU staffer has produced a great, 40-minute video on understanding your rights when you get pulled over by a cop. Josh sez,

I came across this "flex your rights" video which uses dramatizations with actors to illustrate how you can protect yourself using 4th, 5th, and 6th ammendment rights during commonplace encounters with police.

The film seems pretty cheezy, but the info in it is great. The info conveyed in the film is extremely useful to avoid nasty searches, seizures, and mishaps which could land a well-meaning person in jail or just ruin their day.

Link (Thanks, Josh!)

Update: Kris sez, "I believe that the video is not from the ACLU, just that the narrator used to work for them."

Update 2: Thomas sez, "The ACLU has several pamphlets available for download that explain your rights when stopped by the police. One is pocket-sized to keep in your glove compartment. They are available in several different languages, including Spanish and Arabic."
