#1] Take a breathalyzer test – Most people don’t know this one. You are allowed to refuse a chemical blood test for blood alcohol level. One disclaimer; if you do refuse the test, you will likely loose your license for a period of time even if you are found innocent in court.

#2] Give up your camera – When you are in a public place, you have the right to take pictures of anything in plain view. This includes federal buildings and the police.

#3] Make you talk – As the old adage goes, you have “the right to remain silent.” If you wish to exercise this right, be sure to do so out loud.

Prevent you from talking

– The First Amendment protects you from restrictions based on the content of speech. However, there are “time, place, and manner” restrictions for public spaces and excess noise.

#5] Search you – You have the right to refuse a search of yourself. Police may do a “pat down” of your clothing if they suspect a weapon.

#6] Search your car – If an officer asks to search your car, you can refuse. If the police believe your car contains evidence of a crime, your car CAN be searched without your consent. Both drivers and passengers have the right to remain silent.

#7] Search your home – The cops cannot search your home without a warrant or consent. Even with a warrant, you have the right to remain silent while they search your home.

#8] Make you stay – If you are not under arrest you have the right to calmly leave. Make sure to ask repeatedly if you are free to leave.

#9] Proceed without a lawyer – If arrested, you can refuse to speak until a lawyer is present. If you can’t pay for a lawyer you have the right to a free one.

#10] Detain you for no reason – An officer does not have the right to detain you without reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime or traffic violation.
