Know Your Rights: You have a Right to Film

This is also meant to give you tools so you can better advocate for your rights and the rights of others. Sliding Scale donations start at $0. The way that you choose to interact with the police is a very personal choice, carrying different risks based on your race, gender, class and more. The information in this training is meant to empower you and offer you choices when confronted by the police.
