This site is an amazing collection of police abuse. It is totally a wake-up call as though I know it is rampant, this collection (fully verified with the source) just blew me away.
I think a site like this, if you wanted to, could do a LOT for public awareness about a persons rights. About how to handle a police stop, not answer questions (will just get you in trouble) and say politely "I do not consent to searches", asking if you can go..
They have a lot of ways around this, but it amazes me how many people don't understand their rights, or think they must answer questions, or that they can say anything up until the time the police "read me my rights", which is not true. People also feel police are street judges, missing that they are there to MAKE cases...to document, to trip up folk, etc. Don't bargain away your trump cards there, you do it in court if it comes to that.
