Yesterday Cato hosted the premiere screening of the new film, *[10 Rules for Dealing with Police](https://www.cato.org/events/100212screening.html)*, produced by our friends at [Flex Your Rights](http://flexyourrights.org/). The *Washington Post* has a nice piece about the film and event [here](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/24/AR2010032402907.html). And the *Washington Examiner* covered the event [here](http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/SharpSticks/Asserting-your-rights-when-youre-stopped-by-the-cops-89039567.html).

*10 Rules* is a gold mine of useful information (both legal and practical) for handling police encounters. Legal books are too often impenetrable and just too time-consuming for laypersons. *10 Rules* is a media-savvy vehicle that can alleviate the problem of constitutional illiteracy in America.

In less than 45 minutes, you acquire the information you need to know. Get the dvds and encourage others to show them at high schools, colleges, and other venues.
