Police Interactions 101:
How To Interact with the Police in Your Car,
On the Streets, In Your Home
by Cathy Harris
Do you know what to do when stopped and questioned by the police -in your car, on the streets or in your home? If you answered "NO" to this question --you need to read this book! Not only should you read this book but you should tell everyone you love and care about to read it also.
Do you trust the police? The goal is to arm yourself with the knowledge and power you need so you don't become just another victim.
Not only should young males be weary of actions by the police but what about sexual profiling in this country? Women who often drive alone are at just a higher risk of being accosted by the police as others. Women are just as likely to be profiled as men by local, state and federal law enforcement officers especially since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS.gov) in 2003.
Many women will no longer stop when directed by a police officer to pull over. Some will call 911 and ask for additional police to come to the scene and refuse to open their windows until backup police arrive.
Cops are known to rape or extort women for sex during highway pullovers. The situation is badly deteriorating. It comes as no surprise that unstable, aggressive bullies gravitate to police work, and quite a few are sexual predators.
Therefore, this book is an action plan for the entire family on what actions to take to protect themselves when driving a car, walking on the streets or in their homes.
As a community organizer and advocate, I have heard many, many stories about what the police are capable of and what they get away with. The reason for this is that most people do not understand their rights.
Not only will this book help you stay alive but if you are violated by the police - it provides an action plan on what steps to take to receive justice.
Advocates and activists don't trust local police agencies to self-investigate or police themselves. Nor do they trust district attorneys, grand juries, police commissions or local officials to be any more fair and impartial when investigating the police.
Many advocates don't understand that the Justice Department has always had on their books a strong arsenal of civil rights statutes to prosecute abusive police officers. This office is equipped to dispatch their top civil rights lawyers to handle federal probes. But this will happen only if we demand it!
In the past it has taken major media attention, large scale protests and even a major riot, such as Rodney King LA riot of 1992, before the Justice Department has used its legal weapons.
Where there is evidence of sexual or racial profiling and/or police brutality, the Attorney General must send a strong message to law enforcement agencies that the Justice Department will go after lawbreakers whether they wear a "mask" or a "badge."

We as citizens should police the police when ever any incident occurs we should have the right to see that the person being arrested is being treated with dignity ans respect after all we are all innocent until we are tried in a court of law by our peers' not the cop on the street. It is time for us to form a watch dog committee that has the powers to arrest officers who break the law.
We must hold the police and the justice system to the same standard we hold our school teacher's if we are not satisfied with our children's educations we are allowed to sit in our child's class to learn what is going on with their education. when we see our brothers and sisters being arrested we should demand the right to see that every person who is arrested receives justice' we should have a system in place to ensure that our citizens are not harmed.
This is an excellent idea. Unfortunately, too many men and women of color are being profiled, targeted and actually lured into behavior that then warrants arrest, beatings and sometime death. Our people need this knowledge, so that they are armed with information and the wisdom to know what their rights are, when they are being violated and how to defend those rights.
Ignorance is our biggest enemy and the "peace officers" count on our ignorance to entrap and imprison our people.
One more thing: There is a DVD entitled, "10 Rules for Dealing With the Police". Much of it can be found on YouTube and if you would like a copy, go to www.flexyourrights.org where there is lots of additional information to safeguard you and your family. Peace and blessings, my people
