Some friends and I have had many experiences with the law enforcement types due to our politics. What we have found is that most police officers are counting on you not knowing what the actual rules are. We decided to form something like Triple A for civil liberties. It would be a membership organization that teaches you how to respond and ensures that informed members show up to document your experience. The organization's name is: CopperCards.

The best time to get good advice is at the moment when you can apply it. That is what CopperCards does. It gives you the advice and one number to call to alert a group of people to your situation. The police are only brave if they feel that you are an isolated individual without resources. Not all police are rule-benders either, just those with those tendencies to begin with.
