Copwatch invites you to a public forum:
Know Your Rights: What to Say and Do If You Are Stopped by Law Enforcement
Tuesday, June 24 - 7:00 p.m.
El Mercado (413 Main St., Holyoke)
Free on-site childcare provided.
Do you know your rights if you are stopped by the police? If a police officer asks you for identity, do you have to give it to him? Can he take a photo of you? Can he search your car without permission?
This forum will inform people of their legal rights and give them a sense of the “big picture” when it comes to police harassment. Local attorneys will be present to explain individuals’ rights in relation to law enforcement. A representative from Western Mass. Copwatch will also speak.

What about the rights of the Cops, Fire and EMS? Should they have to worry about being injuried by someone who thinks it is funny or a sport to aim at those in uniform? IF someone takes a unprevoked swing at another doesn’t that person have a right to protect themsleves?
