1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jason Flamm and I'm the host of Wrongful 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Conviction with Jason Flamm. 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: And I'm Robbia Jaudry, attorney and co host of Undisclosed. 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: So today we want to talk to you about your 5 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 2: rights and how they relate to interactions with the police, 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: especially if your immigration status is a little sketchy. 7 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: Now, immigration law is a specialty of yours, Rabia, what 8 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: do you want to tell undocumented people? What do they 9 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: need to know when they're talking to law enforcement? This 10 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: is so important, I think to all of us. 11 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: First of all, remember you don't ever have to answer 12 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: questions about your nationality or your immigration status. Just remember, 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: regardless of your immigration status, it does not matter what 14 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: your immigration status is. All the constitutional protections still apply 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: to you in any kind of police interaction. You have 16 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: the right to remain silent. That does not depend on 17 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 2: your immigration status. You do not have to answer any 18 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: questions at all. Just very clearly tell the police I 19 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: have the right to remain silent. I'm exercising my right. 20 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: If you're pulled over in a car, like anybody else, 21 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: you want to roll down your window, provide the documents 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: you've been asked for. You don't have to consent to 23 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: a search of your personal belongings. You don't think that 24 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: you have less legal rights in this arena if you 25 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 2: are not documented, if you don't have legal status here, 26 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: and if you don't consent to a search, let the 27 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: cops know I do not consent to a search on 28 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: my person or belongings. Do not, under any circumstance volunteer 29 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: your immigration status. That's something for them to find out 30 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: on their own. If you are being arrested, however, do 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: not resist arrest. If you are an immigrant, it's really 32 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: important to protect your legal rights because, as many of 33 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: you know, any kind of legal repercussions can have a 34 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: direct impact on your immigration status. 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Just because you're an immigrant doesn't mean that you don't 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: have legal rights. You do. We want you to exercise 37 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: them and stay safe out there. To learn more and 38 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: get involved, listen to Undisclosed. 39 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: And listen to Wrongful Conviction podcasts. 40 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: These are your legal rights. 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: Know your rights, understand your rights, and most importantly, exercise 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: your rights.
