Know Your Rights
All people in the U.S., whether citizen or non-citizen, have certain rights under the U.S. Constitution and other laws.
You have the right to refuse consent for the police to search yourself, your car or your home.
You have the right to remain silent. If you want to exercise that right, you should say it out loud.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you have the right to call the consulate of your home country. Immigration and police must let your consulate visit or speak with you.
You have the right to speak to an attorney before answering any questions. You may say, “I will remain silent until I speak to an attorney.”
You do not have to sign anything that you do not understand.
