The U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from interfering with your right to remain silent, to consult an attorney, and to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. However is is up to you to assert these rights. This Black Crowes Freedom Shirt will help you do so effectively.
If you are confronted by a police officer remain calm. Be courteous and provide your identification. Politely refuse to answer any further questions. Ask to talk to an attorney. Do not consent to any search of your person, your property, your residence, or your vehicle. Tell the officer you would like to give him or her this shirt, which is a statement of your constitutional rights you wish to invoke. Do not reach for this shirt until you have obtained the officer's permission to do so.
If the officer fails to honor your rights, remain calm and politely ask him or her to note your objection in the report. Do not attempt to physically resist an unlawful arrest, search, or seizure. If necessary, you may point out the violations to a judge at a later time.
* I hereby invoke and refuse to waive all of the following rights and privileges afforded to me by the U.S. Constitution:
* I invoke and refuse to waive my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Do not ask me any questions.
* I invoke and refuse to waive my Sixth Amendment right to an attorney of my choice. Do not ask me any questions without my attorney present.
* I invoke and refuse to waive all privileges and rights pursuant to the case Miranda V. Arizona. Do not ask me any questions or make any comment to me about this decision.
* I invoke and refuse to waive my Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. I do not consent to any search or seizure of myself, my home, or any property in my possession. Do not ask me about my ownership interest in any property. I do not consent to this contact with you. If I am not presently under arrest or under investigatory detention, please allow me to leave.
* Any statement I make, or alleged consent I give, in response to your questions is hereby made under protest and under duress and in submission to your claim of lawful authority to force me to provide you with information.
So, there is this letter I wrote you in 95' (it was kinda like a dear diary thing) If I run across it, I'll see to it that you get it. Something tells me it may mean something to you now. Safe travels and remember to wear rubber souled shoes when it rains (when your on stage) :-) Saftey first of you and that of your fans. :-)
