Know Your Rights: Law Enforcement

Knowing your rights can help you navigate encounters with law enforcement and protect your constitutional rights.

Remember:

• You have the right to remain silent. You can ask to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

• You can refuse a search. Clearly state that you do not consent, though officers may still search when legally authorized.

• You have the right to an attorney. If you are detained or arrested, request legal counsel and avoid answering questions until you have spoken with an attorney.

Your faith and heritage should never compromise your safety or dignity at school.

Anti-Muslim bias and bullying are on the rise, but students and parents do not have to navigate it alone. CAIR’s Guide to Bullying and Bias in Schools is an essential resource designed to help families identify Islamophobic behavior, enforce school obligations under federal law, and take direct action against discrimination.
