Here's a nice little rhyme from some friends in NH.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
Inevitably, when a cop
Accosts you at a routine stop,
Some little tips that you can sing
Can keep the worst from happening.
A camera’s easy to afford;
You see blue lights, you hit RECORD.
Memorize, for later blame,
His badge’s number, and his name.
Make no statements; be evasive–
Court’s the place to be persuasive.
Phrase your answers like they’re questions;
Don’t react to rude suggestions.
Stay calm. Be polite.
Don’t argue, even though you’re right.
Anything you say or do
Can serve in court to railroad you.
Don’t touch a cop, he’ll cry “Assault!”
And courts will find that you’re at fault.
Likewise, never turn and run
That’s his excuse to use his gun.
Like the crook he thinks you are,
He’ll ask to search you, or your car.
Refuse. He’ll badger. Don’t relent.
By law, he still needs your consent.
Repeat two questions in a row–
Am I: Being detained? or Free to go?
Don’t resist him, just obey.
Demand a lawyer right away.
Despite your teaching, in the end,
Mister Cop is not your friend.
Think it’s unfair? Please arrange
To help Free Staters work for change.
