Constitutional Rights Of Protestors.
It is quite common to hear about protestors getting arrested, mistreated, or abused while they exercise their First Amendment rights. While this is illegal and unethical, it also sheds light on the fact that many people are unaware of their protesting rights. Far too often people experience violence and harassment from the police without knowing what their legal rights are. As a result, countless people suffer at the hands of the authorities who are supposed to protect them.
