The Constitution Card

Rate this Entry
This might not be the best idea (hi Wesley feel free to tell me otherwise) to do, but the general idea is to carry this and ask Police Officers if it would be okay for you to give them a card.

The card is double sided and has these two images:

I don't think it's a good idea (but it is a good idea to be aware of these rights), because generally you should just STFU if you are being arrested save asking for your lawyer over and over.

What think?

    To me this seems like something hipsters and criminals would carry, to be honest.

    You show something like this to a cop, you are pretty much asking for all sorts of trouble. Not that I have ever been in trouble too much, but my few minor run ins with cops (mainly being pulled over, and one time because I was WAY too drunk at a friend's house) weren't that bad. I showed them complete respect, and all was well at the end of the day. I should have had four speeding tickets on my record now, but I got out of it. Again, I know that there are WORSE situations and that Cops can be jerks, but it is THOSE Cops that would get really nasty if you instigate them with this sort of deal.

    Carrying a card seems pointless at best, but I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to precisely follow all of those statements. Do not talk to the police if you could remotely be considered a suspect for anything; always demand an attorney first; and never, ever, EVER consent to a search of anything.

    Sephex: it's a sad indictment of modern police officers that some may actually be "instigated" by a simple expression of one's rights. People need to say "no" to cops more.

    Raistlin, I totally agree. But far to many people get in deep trouble by scoffing for getting pulled over. Most cops strike some sort of deal with you, or let you off unless you were driving like a jerk or whatever.

    You should accept responsibility for your actions rather than condone cops who don't do their jobs properly.

    good point quin. why do we even have a court when we should just own up to crimes?
