Do you know what to do when confronted by the police? Do you know what rights you have during a run-in with the law? Unfortunately most people don't... even Constitution-thumping libertarians!
Fortunately, members of the Berkeley community will soon have the opportunity tog get educated on this topic. On Wednesday, September 29th, representatives from Berkeley Copwatch will talk to Students for Liberty about the rights citizens h...ave when dealing with the police and how to effectively handle a run-in with the law.
Copwatch is a network of activist organizations in Canada and the United States that observe and document police activity while looking for signs of police misconduct and police brutality. They believe that monitoring police activity on the streets is a way to prevent police brutality. Berkeley's Copwatch chapter was the first one ever created, and thus their representatives have extensive knowledge on their field of expertise.
As always, everyone is wholeheartedly encouraged to attend. We hope to see you there!
