ACLUM Know Your Rights Workshop for Protesters
If you are at a protest or rally and the police try to detain you, do you know your rights? Challenges to the right to protest have come in many forms throughout our history, but the right to protest and the right to peaceful assembly are critical elements of our democracy. The ACLU monitors the government's respect for this foundational right and provides information for protesters across the country. Essential for any activist, this workshop will teach you about your constitutional rights and how to exercise them in encounters with law enforcement, including your specific rights during a rally or protest. You will become familiar with the 6th amendment (right to a trial), 5th amendment (right to remain silent), and 4th amendment (freedom from unreasonable search and seizure), and review scenarios (both hypothetical and taken from recent news items) where these constitutional rights would come into play. You will learn how to assert your rights in encounters with law enforcement and understand the different thresholds police must meet to escalate encounters with civilians, covering the meaning of "probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion." Finally, we will discuss whom to contact if your rights are violated.
