WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE ARRESTED

Cops use arrests as opportunities to ENACT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE in the hopes of deterring activists from continuing the fight.

Remember, there are only two things you need to say...

"I INVOKE MY RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT AND I WANT A LAWYER"
SAY BOTH! SAY NOTHING ELSE!

JAILS ARE A TRAUMATIC PLACE; YOU WILL LIKELY WITNESS LOTS OF ABUSE AND BE ABUSED.

—-

DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY SEARCHES. EVEN IF THEY TRY AND SEARCH YOU CONTINUE TO SAY:

"I DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS SEARCH".

You are not required to voluntarily unlock your phone; turn off your thumb print lock or Face ID ahead of time so they cannot force you to. Let your lawyer handle it.

When you are able to, use the NLG number you've written in Sharpie on your arm to make your call to a lawyer.

LEGAL RULES FOR PHONE CALLS: IT MUST BE PROVIDED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
Sometimes it is longer if you're in jail over the weekend.

Remember that anything you say in jail or over the phone is being recorded and surveilled (don't talk about your charges or give any details)

—-

The policing system does its best to make you feel isolated and alone, but know that your community is working to get you out. We will support you legally, physically, and emotionally when you are out.

To get out of jail: usually you have to sign a release agreement. A lawyer will deal with that later.

WHEN YOU GET OUT, LOOK FOR JAIL SUPPORT!
They're almost always on the ground. They have water and snacks and can help get you home. Cops tend to take your stuff (keys, wallet, backpack, phone) so you'll need help when released. We protect us!

USE YOUR RIGHT TO REPORT RESPONSIBLY

Protests are often led by and composed of over-policed populations and historically marginalized people, including Black, Indigenous, undocumented, brown, and LGBTQ+ activists, and those experiencing mental and physical disabilities.

Innocent protesters are frequently arrested despite not committing any crime, and identifying photos and videos from a demonstration could cause serious harm to them and their families.

[...]

Finally, private tech companies collect images and personal data on their platforms while developing AI that tracks, identifies, and monitors users online. Some companies even have data-sharing relationships with law enforcement. [FACEBOOK/GOOGLE]

[The best way to not be identified is to hide your face, skin color, tattoos, clothing, shoe print and other identifying features, see #bloc]

Dealing with Tear Gas and Pepper Spray

DO NOT RUB IT IN
Decontaminate your hands before you touch any part of your body.
FLUSH YOUR EYES
Use clean, cool water to flush and clean out your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you do not have access to clean water, use saline.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Gas masks provide the best facial protection, if properly fitted and sealed. Alternatively, goggles, respirators, or a wet bandanna over the nose and mouth will help.

STAY CALM. Panicking increases the irritation. Breathe slowly to ground yourself and remember it is only temporary

CLEAN OUT
Blow your nose, rinse your mouth, cough and and spit. Try to get as far away from the source as possible and keep your distance from others.
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES
Removes the lenses or get someone to remove them for you, with CLEAN, uncontaminated fingers. Destroy the lenses after exposure.

Encirclement or "Kettle" - Graphics

https://t.me/RevToolboxRedux/2716

"Police can encircle all or some demonstrators in order to make multiple simultaneous arrests. This is to be done after demonstrators are allowed an opportunity to disperse.

Oakland Police used this tactic on several occasions. This tactic resulted in most of the 700 or so arrests since Occupy started. On January 28, 2012, officers kettled protesters at 19th and Telegraph, and the YMCA, but did not allow marchers to disperse, as witnessed by Oakland North Reporter John Osborn."
