Re: Basic legal things everyone should know
The most important thing to know is this:
When dealing with the police your rights don't matter. They will do whatever they want and the courts will support them.
I have a theory that this is really why the show COPS is on TV: to so inure and habituate the public to seeing police officers violate others' rights, that when they violate yours you won't complain. Seriously, I can almost guarantee you will see a cop break the law in a 30 minute episode of that show.
