Street Law Mini-Project
This mini-project was based on our amendment rights and how we should respond to several different situations. For instance, what are your rights and protections? How do respond during a traffic stop and to police questioning? How do you ensure that you do not dig yourself a bigger hole by saying something you shouldn't have. This project was put in purpose to inform us on how to deal with Police officers and certain situations and how laws change from on the street, on your person and in your car.
I connected with my project by choosing a topic that I have had to deal with on several occasions; traffic stops and more importantly, avoiding a ticket. I have been pulled over four times, two of which were for speeding yet I have not received any tickets. I thought it would be interesting to make a brochure on how to avoid a ticket.
I would really like to explore different scenarios in which people’s rights have been violated during traffic stops. I think this is a very interesting topic because so many people get pulled over on a daily bases and I cannot imagine all the stops go well. I would like to see how different responses to different officers creates different outcomes. If I were to make a project out of this I would like to make a movie explaining different scenarios.
