If a free society depends upon an informed citizenry exercising
oversight of its government, then more people need to know how to
handle themselves in a police encounter. Is cooperation always the best
course of action? Or are there times to assert the constitutional right
to refuse consent to a search of one's home or belongings? A new
documentary film answers those questions and more in an informative and
entertaining series of skits narrated by Baltimore trial attorney
Billy Murphy (from HBO's The Wire). Learn how the safeguards of
the Bill of Rights operate outside of the courthouse and on the
street. Learn how to make smart decisions and respond effectively to
police misconduct.Listen to an interview with Billy Murphy: "How to Deal with Police".
