Leaflet “ID checks and searches: your rights when dealing with police”

Calm, legally informed behaviour protects both sides. Key points: an officer must introduce themselves and state the grounds; ID checks are allowed only in cases defined by law; a frisk is not a search — a personal search without a court order is possible only upon arrest; you have the right not to testify against yourself and your family and the right to a lawyer from the moment of detention; filming the police is legal. The PDF is print-ready in a pocket fold format.
