How to protect ourselves LEGALLY in the case we are questioned, detained, or arrested
  • Gen0Noob October 2011 +1 -1
    Hey guys, I know everyone here has seen the arrests happening in the protests around the world, and they are ignoring our rights, which is just wrong. But there is a way for us to fight back legally in the event we are questioned, arrested, or detained. Remember, we have the right to remain silent, and to call your attorney if you have one. But most of us don't. But there is a way. LegalShield. If in the event one of us is arrested, we would be able to call the best law firms around the U.S. and have our rights protected, 24/7. That isn't their only benefit, but it's the one we will most likely be using. And you get to pick up the phone and call an attorney without worrying about the high hourly cost and is something everyone can afford. I know I have the membership, and I can hook you guys up with it too. If you want more info, go ahead and shoot me an email: ccstevens.biz@gmail.com.

    You have to educate yourselves as to your rights.

    City Ordanances that apply to the First Amendment applied to the fourteenth Amendment.

    S.O.C., Inc. v. County of Clark, 152 F.3d 1136, 1143-44 (9th Cir.1998), such laws must be analyzed as if they imposed restrictions on fully protected speech. Id
