Needless to say, it’s disturbing that DC police see our educational DVDs as a "tool for deceiving law enforcement." The Bill of Rights is not a trick or a loophole to protect criminals. It’s the highest law of the land. It’s also a template for good police work and good citizenship. That’s what Flex Your Rights is all about.
