Always remember, you have a legal right to protest. You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as marchers don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. However, if the protests do include that, you'd need a permit.

You have the right to photograph or record ANYTHING in plain view. The authorities cannot tell you to not photograph in a public space.

If you think your rights have been violated, you can, write down everything you remember, including the officers’ badge and patrol car numbers and the agency they work for, get contact information for witnesses, take photographs of any injuries and can file a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board.

If the cops stop you, you can ask if you can go and on a yes, you can walk away.

If you're arrested, you have the right to ask why. If they don't answer, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer. DO NOT SIGN, SAY OR AGREE TO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF YOUR LAWYER.
