Do you know your rights?

There is a quiz to test your knowledge of your rights(US).
1) The Patriot Act increases police power during traffic stops.
2) Undercover officers must admit they’re police when asked.
3) During a traffic stop, police may automatically perform a weapons pat-down.
4) Fourth Amendment protections still apply if you’re a minor.
5) Officers have to read you your rights when you're arrested, or you can’t be charged.
6) Refusing a search gives police a legal basis to detain you.
7) Drug checkpoints are unconstitutional.
8) You can be arrested for refusing to identify yourself to a police officer.

Just 8 questions, take the quiz and see how you do.

I did pretty well, though we are well on our way to living in a police state.

I got that wrong according to them, but I dispute it.

Know your rights all three of them

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a crime!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights

And number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Dont mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Wang

Know these rights

Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as youre not
Dumb enough to actually try it.

Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well..............................

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You dont have a home to go to
Smush

Finally then I will read you your rights

You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you

You got 8 out of 8 questions correct.
Perfect Score! Very impressive. We feel sorry for any officer who tries to violate your rights.

also the "refusing a search automatically gives police the right to detain you" one is kinda bs cuz once you refuse they call in the k-9 and then they make the dog "indicate" that it has detected "something" and then they search you. i swear to God that happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.

"missed" #7 and #8.

xoB, I agree with you on how some of the questions are phrased to highlight a point rather than glide you to an easy right answer. Having said that, I'm unsurprised you were "wrong" about #4 given your recent remarks in the Sanctuary thread. Having a right and being able to exercise a right are two related but different things.
