He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die. ~ James Baldwin

Law Professor Instructs: "Never Talk To Cops" (VIDEO)
A law professor who is a former defense attorney explains why he will never talk to the police, and why NO ONE SHOULD EVER TALK TO THE POLICE.
Shortened Cops Lie
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TALK TO THE POLICE, FBI, DA OR ANY OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT OR INVESTIGATOR.
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

Wise Words from West Denver CopWatch
Submitted by copwatch on Sun, 01/24/2010 - 11:10amfrom their website: http://westdenvercopwatch.wordpress.com/
....Police are consistently traumatizing and occupying our communities. 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. We collect footage that both holds the police accountable and informs the people of their abuse of power.
