Constitutional Literacy 101

Flex Your Rights is an organization founded by Steve Silverman (a friend from my DC days) to educate citizens about their constitutional rights. In the face of racial profiling controversies, post-911 erosions of our civil liberties and the ever increasing numbers of people locked up (with our tax dollars) for minor drug possession offenses, Steve took action. He consulted directly with law enforcement and created an educational movie (narrated by Ira Glass) that makes the appropriate methods for asserting your constitutional rights during police encounters clear. Learn how to avoid confrontation while refusing to relinquish your 4th and 5th amendment rights.
