Am I Being Detained?  Am I Free To Go? I Do Not Consent To Any Searches
Anti-Authority Slogan Buttons
This listing is for three 1.25" buttons with phrases that may come in handy when dealing with the authorities.
It's always good to remember that if you stopped by the police but are not under arrest, you have the right to ask the police if you are being detained.  If you are not, you can ask if you are free to go.  And since the police can only search your domicile or vehicle on suspicion or with your permission, you can just deny them your consent to be searched.
The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. Law enforcement agencies must first obtain a search warrant, based on probable cause, before a search may be performed.
There are exceptions to the search warrant rule. Consent searches are searches that are made by law enforcement agents based on consent of the person whose property they wish to search. Consent searches are the most common form of warrantless searches. A search warrant or probable cause is not necessary if consent is given by someone with proper authority.
In order to conduct a consent search, the person whose property is being searched must voluntarily waive his or her Fourth Amendment rights. In most cases, the person may refuse to give consent; however, the law enforcement agent does not have to tell the person that consent is voluntary. Should any of the evidence obtained result in a criminal trial, the prosecution must prove that the consent search was entirely voluntary and the person granting consent was not coerced.
Please note that wearing these perfectly legal buttons may be considered inflammatory in the eyes of those who take authority seriously.  Do not taunt the dynamite monkey, is all I'm suggesting.  Politeness is nine-tenths of walking out of a situation.
Looks good on seatbelts, suitcases, jackets, purses, lifevests, and uniforms!
