Know Your Rights: Do You Have to Talk to Cops?
About this episode
Leah and Melissa discuss what individuals are required to say during police encounters with guest Daniel Harawa.
In the second episode of our Know Your Rights series, Leah and Melissa sit down with NYU Law’s Daniel Harawa to break down what you do—and don't—have to say when law enforcement stops you. They cover the difference between being seized and a consensual encounter, and the crucial distinction between knowing your rights on paper and using your judgment to stay safe in the moment.
