* This is not legal advice, just general advice.
* Theoretical in most cases; use your judgement!
* Remember these words: “I AM GOING TO REMAIN SILENT; I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO MY LAWYER.”
* Provocateurs, undercover agents, infiltrators are out there
** make sure you're taking your direct action only with those that you have a high level of trust with
** if you believe someone to be a cop, don’t openly call them out! Focus on the behavior and the facts; it’s damaging to the movement to start accusing each other

==levels of police interaction:==
* casual conversation: you have no legal obligation to speak to an officer within a casual encounter
** “Am I free to go or am I being detained?”
* Detention: if the answer to the aforementioned question is ‘yes’
** “I am going to remain silent; I would like to speak to my lawyer.”
** use legal prophylactic: if the officers are going to utilize their power to conduct a pat search, say: “I do not consent to this search!” — it may not stop the officer from conducting the search, but it may help later down the line for information to be thrown out if you clearly did not give consent
* Arrest:
** remember that whatever you have with you (bags, etc.) will be fair game to be searched once arrested
** keep saying the magic words: “I am going to remain silent; I would like to speak to my lawyer.”

== arrests at Standing Rock:==
* be aware that you will be waiting/in transit/processed for a long time; Morton County capacity is not large, so you may end up being transported long distances to other counties; also be mindful of long wait times encouraging discussion between arrestees that will be listened to
* people of color will have a much different experience as they are being targeted
* immigrants will go through ICE process
* you have to go back to North Dakota to litigate the charges; they have 48 hours
* for immigrants/foreign nationals: keep a copy (but not original!) of your status
* report civil rights violations!! step up and call the hotline!
* be incredibly mindful when being held about speaking with comrades—the police are listening!
* exercise your right to remain silent (or forgetful :) if asked for social security number
* Best bail funds: Sacred Stone websites; Water Protector’s Facebook

==Standing Rock jurisdiction:==
* Sacred Stone: private property on reservation land
* Rose Bud: on reservation land
* Oceti Sakowin: Army Corps of Engineers land

==vehicular stop:==
* if you are pulled over, make sure you are as clean as possible!! (contraband, prescriptions, weapons, or anything that could be construed as such)
* only can search you if they are going to arrest you at the car
* cannot search you if they don’t have reasonable suspicion

==Roadblocks:==
* don’t lie to police—it’s a crime
* make sure your cars are legal and regulation!!
* Standing Rock specific:
** people of color will be targeted
** cars will be more targeted at night
