Know Your Rights: What To Do If Police Stop You

The Southern Center for Human Rights recognizes that police forces have been terrorizing Black communities for decades, all across the country. We support all people protesting this injustice and demanding liberation and accountability. In support of those goals, we have prepared this handout to help you understand your rights with the police. When you know what the law says, you can better protect yourself, your family, and your community.
