BUST CARD

ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
POLICE ABUSE CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR CIVIL RIGHTS PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES, 
PARTICULARLY AGAINST THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED. 
TODAY'S CONSERVATIVE COURTS GENERALLY SUPPORT BROAD POLICE POWERS 
AT THE EXPENSE OF INDIVIDUAL CIVIL RIGHTS.

SANTA ROSA AND SONOMA COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE NO EXCEPTION.
ILLEGAL STOPS AND ARRESTS HAPPEN HERE, AND POLICE STATEMENTS AND "ADVICE" ARE OFTEN MISLEADING. SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR RIGHTS 
AND THINK FIRST ABOUT THE LAW BEFORE YOU SPEAK OR ACT.
