Society - Busted: The Citizen's Guide to Surviving Police Encounters

By knowing and exercising your rights, you become a better citizen. In addition, youll be more prepared to balance the power between yourself and police, who often try to get you to wave your rights. Although youre generally better off respectfully asserting your rights, doing so is no guarantee against police misconduct, but showing the police that you know your rights can make them cautious about violating your rights. Created by Flex Your Rights and narrated by retired ACLU director Ira Glasser, BUSTED realistically depicts the pressure and confusion of common police encounters. In an entertaining and revealing manner, BUSTED illustrates the right and wrong ways to handle different police encounters and pays special attention to demonstrating how you, the viewer, can courteously and confidently refuse police searches.
