Recently in Minnesota we have heard a great deal about interactions with law enforcement and civilians, and there is a lot of talk being thrown around what is and is not acceptable on both sides. In light of that, it is vitally important to understand what a person can and can't do as it relates to law enforcement:

1. An individual can peacefully protest, and may do so passionately. Doing so is a constitutional right.
2. An individual cannot hit or impede a law enforcement officer. Both acts are a crime.
3. Law enforcement can ask a person to disperse.
4. Law enforcement cannot force intrude on an individual's constitutional rights.

That is the legal side. However, what most folks do not understand is that there is also a *practical* side to these interactions. To unwrap this, let's discuss fact and fiction:
1. Fiction--individual can protest amd behave disruptively and try to disrupt law enforcement's acts.
Fact--behaving disruptively is likely to lead to law enforcement escalating to get the other side to back down. It can also lead to criminal charges like resist, delay, and obstruct.

2. Fiction-escalating rhetoric and aggressive behavior, if if not violent, around law enforcement will achieve a positive outcome.
Fact--escalating against law enforcement does not end well and can result in serious injury or death, and depending on the circumstances may result in criminal charges.

3. Fiction--I should resist law enforcement physically if my rights are threatened or being violated.
Fact--the proper forum to litigate whether your due process rights have been violated is in a courtroom with an attorney--not by physically confronting the officerth.

Your constitutional rights are important! But so is how you enforce them. If approached by law enforcement, be courteous and professional. You asb ask questions and politely decline to consent to a search--but if law enforcement acts illegally, fight it in the courtroom--not with the officer!
