What Are Know Your Rights Red Cards?

All people in the United States have certain rights under the United States Constitution. Know Your Rights Red Cards list several of the most important rights to remember when interacting with law enforcement. One side of the card provides examples of how to exercise your rights during an interaction with law enforcement. The other side provides a brief explanation, intended for law enforcement, of the rights being exercised.
