This page doesn't seem to fit the purposes of Useful Notes. While I can see the potential in a page giving advice to help keep a fictional character out of trouble during an encounter with the police, this page is more geared toward actual, real-life encounters with law enforcement; furthermore, bias makes itself known in passages like this:
"Don't treat police like idiots when you're exercising your rights even if they're blatantly in the wrong."
and
"In fact, don't interact with police at all, if you can avoid it."
and
"Being respectful to cops (as hard as it may be if they're being suspicious or abusive or racist toward you) will generally make them go away, if you're not committing and have not commited a major crime. Being rude, abusive, or worst of all, violent toward them can make them arrest you, beat you, or even kill you."
It seems written from the assumption that police are constantly looking for a fight, someone to mistreat, or an excuse to toss an innocent person in prison. Even if this remains as a real-life guide to real-life situations, couldn't that assumption wind up getting a person in MORE trouble than if they assume police are just doing a job?
