Would you do that ?

Question

If you feel that police is not really doing anything to bring your rights.

If you feel that no one is really listening

Would you go in the street carrying a sign to bring attention?

Would you think that might work?

That is really a serious question as I am thinking about doing it.

Thank you

Answer 1

One person alone may or may not be able to accomplish much...but then, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are many people even in your community who question police tactics and who have even experienced abuse, even torture, by the police in your area. Of course, not all the police are guilty, but most police squads have at least one or more officers who consider themselves judge, jury, and executioner of their own brand of extrajudicial "justice."

The best thing you can do is organize with others. Talk with other people who share you concerns. The links below may help you get a start.

Good luck!

I guess if you really feel like nobody is listening to you you could give it a shot but honestly I don't think that would do you any good. First of all unless you have like a thousend or more pople with you than you might get noticed by someone, but even than nobody really listens to a bunch of screaming people on the street. At least that is my opinion. When I see them on the news I just lough and change the channel. In best case scenario you would get noticed for a day or so and than everybody would forget anyways.
I guess if you really feel strong about your case try going to the officials that can do something about it. Your local mayer or senator or something like that. I know it is not easy but who said that changing laws or operations or practices is easy in any case.
I hope you will get your problems resolved soon

No - I wouldn't carry a sign around...actions like that just give you less credibility, make you look like a nut..... I would contact various agencies, starting with city hall, to keep complaining until you find the right person who can help you. As far as not "bringing you your rights"...what exactly are you expecting? The police cannot do the job of a judge, you know.

Answer 4

I know how you feel. I've set up my own web site because I think what happened to me was intentional.
Send a letter to the Chief Constable and ask his permission for a peaceful demonstration, he will more than likely give you it. I got permission to hold a poll in Birmingham to see how many people have been beaten when arrested.
If you intend doing the sign or the demonstration get your local paper involved.
Good Luck.

Answer 5

I would - where I live in France they do it all the time! Even one man on his own. They usually do something to attract attention - loudspeaker, balloons etc. And they always have information to give out to attract support - sheets explaining their situation with details of how to donate money, or sign a petition etc. It's probably worth contacting your local Police service first to check the rules about protesting - otherwise your protest might end very quickly!

Answer 6

i would! if you get media attention then most likely they will give your case more attention! the police department doesnt want to look bad, so they will take care of more high profile cases first! but remeber that there is tonz of crime happening everyday, so they have alot on there plates! it may take a little longer but im sure that they will take care of you the best they can!!!

Answer 7

I agree the police are put there to protect big big business its all about money they use the tax payers money to do this its the same as the cold war. they said we are going to the moon first this system was used to brake Russia & it worked no there using the same type of bull to divide & conquar us the poilce are not for us people must wake up beforits to late.

Answer 8

I dont think I would waste my time with that. You could try to write a letter to your newspaper or tv station or call into a radio station and see if they could do a "call in and complain" section on one of the morning shows. ? Just a few ideas.

Answer 9

Sure. As long as you don't do anything harmful or illegal, you're allowed to walk around with a sign.

Just be prepared for people who don't agree with you to treat you poorly and give you a hard time. We have a right to our opinions and free speech, but not to expect others to respect those opinions.

Answer 10

why is it up to the police to "bring you your rights"? You need to stand up for your rights, you can do it in many ways, if your rights have been violated, take legal action. If your speaking in general, give us a better example so we can give you a better answer.
