Is cooperation always the best course of action? Or are there times to assert the constitutional right to refuse consent to a search of one's home or belongings? A new documentary film answers those questions and more in an informative and entertaining series of skits narrated by Baltimore trial attorney Billy Murphy (from HBO's *The Wire*). Learn how the safeguards of the Bill of Rights operate outside of the courthouse and on the street. Learn how to make smart decisions and respond effectively to police misconduct. - Listen to an interview with Billy Murphy: "[How to Deal with Police](https://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/podcast-archive.php?podcast_id=1121)". - Read about the movie in the *Washington Post*: "['10 Rules for Dealing with Police' seeks to teach constitutional rights"](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/24/AR2010032402907.html) - [For more info, go to the Flex Your Rights web site](http://www.flexyourrights.com/). **Registration is closed for this event.** Please view the [Cato Events Calendar](https://www.cato.org/events/calendar.html) for upcoming events.
