What should you do if you are stopped by police?
If you volunteer information, police are NOT required to give Miranda Rights. Immediately upon arrest, ask for an attorney and stop talking other than to give basic identifying information when asked. To learn more, read the ACLU Know your Rights page or download the NAACP instructions or the ACLU Know your Rights brochure.

ACLU materials for students
Can I wear my anti-war T-shirt in class? Do I have to open my glove compartment when a police officer asks me to? Can we satirize the superintendent in the school paper? And can our parents insist that our graduation ceremony start with a Christian prayer?" Anyone can download the 10-minute video "The Rights We've Inherited" made by the Sarasota ACLU, absolutely free, from their website.
The following links will download the Know Your Rights door hanger and the Know Your Rights card produced by the Illinois Student Senate and the Student ACLU Chapter.
