Narrate important info in the video. Since so much info is wanted it can help to patrol with a buddy. That way one person can record and the other person can ask the one being detained for their emergency contact.

If you're arrested, you can wait to see a judge and not have to pay bail. But if you want to get out, you can go to a bail bondsmen and pay 10%.
The Anti Repression Committee (ARC) does some bail support.

If you're providing #JailSupport, have your debit card ready! When someone calls from jail, they will only give you a minute to accept the collect call and pay.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction #directAction
If you're planning a demonstration, call in the jail support headline well in advance to be sure they will be staffing the line during the time you expect people may be arrested. Otherwise you can leave them a voicemail. 510-250-1700

When the #CopWatch trainer was arrested they had so many nonbinary people they had to give them their own separate cell. So #SanFrancisco!

If you're arrested, the LEOs will ask you a bunch of medical questions. If you indicate you're depressed or suicidal they will put you in solitary confinement, so keep it to yourself.

The average #ICE kidnapping takes fewer than 3 minutes. Having foot patrols really helps because otherwise the could snatch someone before people can notice and blow the whistle.

Anything you say that could potentially protect you is not admissible in court, it is considered hear say. So stay silent! Say only: "I'm using my right to remain silent and waiting for a lawyer" or "Am I free to go/being detained?"

Never open the door if an LEO knocks. Ask them to slide a warrant under the door. #4thAmendment
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
#4thAmendment Guideline: if they have to ask, it's because they don't have the legal basis to do so. So say NO.
If someone films you saying no to such a question, their evidence won't be admissible.

Consider the purpose of your video. If your intent is to record ICE to share with the media, you can swipe the metadata. If it's for legal use, keep it.

"Your phone is a snitch"
Great way to think about your #digitalSecurity!
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
Today Microsoft announced they're going to share cloud storage data with the FBI. Consider a European cloud company, since they are protected by GDPR.

See activistChecklist.org for a guide to using a secondary phone for digital security.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction #protest
If you have an old phone that doesn't have cell service, you can use that to take photos/videos at a protest, to further keep your real phone secure.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction #protest
Even powered off phones can ping location data, so if you have your phone with you presume you are traceable.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
The government does not need a warrant to get into your phone if you have biometrics (face ID or fingerprint login). If you are going to a protest, change your login to a password with more than 4 digits.

Reminder that your 1st Amendment rights falls under the broader concept of the "right to redress grievances".
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
The #CopwatchTraining recommends showing your ID if the LEO asks to identify yourself. Otherwise they will hold you on that alone.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
If you're arrested, you should be seen by a judge within 48 business hours. If you're arrested on Friday you may not see a judge until Monday.
#CopWatch training notes #ProtestPrep #directAction
If you're being detained, the officer can search you, but only a surface level search for officer safety. If a light pat down has a suspicious object, they can use that to justify searching your bag or car.
#CopWatch #ProtestPrep #directAction
If you're being detained by police, know that they need "reasonable suspicion" to detail you, but that "reasonable suspicion" is entirely ambiguous and not defined in the law.
