FOR THE NO KINGS PROTESTS, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: PROTEST IS PROTECTED

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees your right to peacefully assemble, speak freely, and petition the government. That means you have the legal and constitutional right to protest in public spaces such as streets, sidewalks, and parks, as long as you’re not violating curfews or blocking access without a permit.
Cops may try to intimidate you. Know this:
• You do NOT have to answer questions.
• You do NOT have to consent to a search.
• You DO have the right to film police in public.
• You DO have the right to remain silent.
If you are detained, questioned, or arrested:
Shut the f**k up. Ask for a lawyer. Don’t talk without one.
Let your silence protect you!

✊🏽 Protest is not a crime. Silence is your shield. Know your rights. Use them!

Another late day at the office. Lots of work. On the plus side, review of cases and emails to ADAs have resulted in a number of dismissals this week.
