Excellent 45 minute ACLU documentary on how to interact with police in three situations: traffic stop, in your house, and on foot. BUSTED: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters this video tldr: -say as little as possible. -be courteous and don't argue or complain. -memorize the phrase "I do not consent to any searches." -do not invite police in your house.
No disagreement here. Sometimes you're forced into dangerous situations and must make the best of it. Some excellent advice from the previous director of the ACLU: BUSTED: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters this video
Please, people: DO NOT ALLOW THE AUTHORITIES FREE ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICES TO PROVE INNOCENCE! Conceding to law enforcement this way only motivates them to promote policy that allows for further rights violations. See: this video
