Knowing how to conduct yourself around the police not only fosters good social skills, it may potentially save you from incarceration!
Knowing your rights furthermore... can save you! It has nothing to do with whether you are doing something illegal or not. This is information everyone needs to understand (in America).
Watch this approximately 45 minute video on "how to avoid being arrested by the cops". It is the most worthwhile 45 minutes you can spend.

This is not to assume that all officers are jerks. Many of them are just doing their job. It is up to you to know your country's rights. I'm sorry this information only applies in America. I am much welcome for people to contribute relevent information pertaining to their countries.
