Redwood Curtain CopWatch, based in the north coast of California, is part of a larger movement of self organized CopWatch groups throughout the US. Our local efforts seek to intervene in the drastic rise of the presence, militarization, and violence of the police, and build support networks based on self-determination, caring, and concrete needs.

Something as simple as a video camera, a pen and a pad of paper can significantly help deter the police from violating our community members’ rights.

Their job is to Collect or Create Information to arrest you and help prosecute you. They’re not trying to win justice or help you.
Drunk in Public
The criminal charge being of "drunk in public" actually requires more than being drunk and being in public: the legal standard requires that a person be so drunk as to be a danger to themselves or others
