Being well versed in your rights never feels more important than when you’re being questioned by a police officer, FBI agent, customs agent, or immigration officer. This booklet, while not a substitute for legal advice, outlines your basic rights when you are stopped, questioned, arrested, or searched by law enforcement. Information includes possible scenarios at airports or other points of entry into the country, common concerns related to charitable donations and religious or political beliefs, additional information for non-citizens and how ACLU-TN can help if you believe your rights have been violated.
