Becoming a "Student of Police Encounters": Or, Being a Professional Pot Smoker

A dangerous site called Flex Your Rights has a Google Video up that basically instructs the My Space generation on how to strategically handle those pesky police officers who show up trying to bust them for pot smoking and other criminal acts (including "ghetto art"). What's the net coming to? This is an infuriating example of rhetorically presenting subversize materials under the guise of civil responsibility. By the gods, you're being a better citizen if you know how to stash that bong and finagle your way out of an arrest or jail term. It's really sad to see stuff like this in the air, particularly when the consequences of marijuana addiction are so well known. I shudder to think...Let me offer my own advice to teenagers everywhere: Don't smoke pot. If you do, you'll end up like Oedipus, some Greek pothead who overdosed on weed and killed his dad and hooked up with his mom. Look it up.

A little more flexin'

From the Flex Your Rights website: 

11. Aren’t you teaching people how to get away with breaking the law?

No. We teach people that they have rights, and these rights are secured by the principal documents protecting our civil liberties—the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our nation’s founders, who were keenly aware of the dangers posed by unchecked government power, created these documents to protect individuals from overzealous law enforcement officials.

For example, an informed individual who invokes his constitutional protections whenever a police officer asks to conduct a warrantless search is doing exactly what the founders intended. The catch is that these rights only apply if they are effectively asserted. Otherwise, people may knowingly or unknowingly waive these rights.

12. What should I do if a publisher asks for my bank account number?

Remember, you should never give out your bank account number. To even ask for it is prima facia evidence of a scam. Think about it: if those people in Sweden REALLY wanted to pay you, why wouldn't they just drop by your house and stick cash in your hands? Be sure to report these abuses to: rec@uga.edu.

And don't forget to include that bank account number in your report. We need some way to file those complaints.
