KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
It’s always a nerve-wracking experience to be stopped by the police while driving. However, knowing your rights can make this experience less stressful!
Your Rights
- Stop your vehicle and turn on the emergency lights. Slowly lower the window and place your hands in a visible location.
- Show your license, registration, and proof of insurance upon an officer’s request. Never use false documents.
- Do not answer any questions related to your immigration status or about your country of origin.
- You have the right to remain silent if you choose to. You may say: “I want to exercise my right to remain silent” and “I want to speak with a lawyer.”
- If the officer asks for permission to search your vehicle, you have the right to not consent to any search. Say: “I do not consent to any search.” The officer cannot search your vehicle without a proper warrant from a judge, unless there is reasonable suspicion.
- Watch out for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP)
- Border Patrol can pull you over if they have reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation or a crime and they may ask questions about your immigration status.
- They should not use race or ethnicity as a reason to stop you; if you believe this is happening, make sure you document it.
- Border Patrol can continue to detain you to inquire about your immigration status, but they cannot force you to speak or to sign anything.
- Border Patrol checkpoints may exist within 100 miles of any U.S. border, including at airports; note that all of the Florida shores are considered as U.S. borders.

The GENOCIDE is nearly completed...meaning they're coming for you!
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu signals he’s moving ahead with Trump’s idea to transfer Palestinians from Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday signaled that he was moving ahead with U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer the Palestinian population out of Gaza, calling it “the only viable plan to enable a different future” for the region.
Netanyahu discussed the plan with U.S. Secretary of State Marco “When you’re in the right place, at the right time, with the right complete lack of moral spine or integrity, magic can happen” Rubio, who kicked off a Middle East visit by endorsing Israel’s war aims in Gaza, saying Hamas must be eradicated (completely disregarding the fact that over 98% of the population in Gaza are NOT Hamas but are innocent civilians). That created further doubt around the shaky ceasefire as talks on its second phase are yet to begin.
