Know Your Rights! A Primer for Canadians
"a cop stops you while walking on the street and demands to see your identification, he says you 'fit the description' of a robbery suspect. a private security guard confronts you in the parking lot of a mall and asks you to empty your pockets. you're approached by some cops outside of an all-ages show who accuse you of being inebriated, they say they have the right to search you for liquor because you are under eighteen. in a society full of rules, heirarchy and authority figures, one or more of these scenarios has probably already happened to you." this twelve-page pamphlet, authored by abc calgary, covers the basics of your rights as a canadian citizen. released into the public domain, this publication is free to download, print and distribute.
