December 9, 2009 1:19PM # 10 Rules for Dealing With the Police By [Tim Lynch](https://www.cato.org/people/tim-lynch) --- SHARE Our friends at [Flex Your Rights](http://www.flexyourrights.org/) have a new film that is about to be released. It’s called *[10 Rules for Dealing with Police](http://www.flexyourrights.org/10_Rules).* Trailer for the film [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is-c29EKVgw&feature=player_embedded). I have seen the entire film and it is an outstanding work–accurate and useful information, great screenplay, and great acting. Believe it or not, the police can lie to you and can try to trick you into giving up your constitutional rights. Happens every day. In less than 45 minutes, this film teaches you what you need to know about police encounters. Every citizen should take an interest in learning about constitutional rights. And experienced lawyers will tell you that you can save thousands of bucks in legal fees by avoiding common mistakes. But you need to know the traps. If you have teenagers in the family, make them watch it. Knowledge is power. Spread the word. ##### Related Tags [Constitutional Law](https://www.cato.org/constitutional-law), [Robert A.
