Justice Stevens, Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356 (2010)

plan of action

know your rights

Regardless of who is President of the United States, everyone has certain basic Constitutional Rights. Even if you are undocumented, you have these Constitutional rights. Only by asserting these basic rights when you deal with police officers or other law enforcement officers at home, in your car, or on the street can you protect yourself.   

01

Remain Silent

You have the right to remain silent. You must inform the officer that you will remain silent and not answer any questions.

02

Contact an Attorney

If you are detained, you have the right to be represented by an attorney. The attorney can be present when law enforcement officers ask you questions.

03

reasonable bail

The Texas Constitution gives every person in the state the right to ask for bail prior to conviction, except those accused of a capital crime and repeat felonious offenders. If you are before a magistrate judge, ask them to set a reasonable bail you or your family can afford.
