Protest Advice (!!UK ONLY!!)

*UPDATED 18/11/23 TO ADD INFO ON PROTESTING AS A TRANS INDIVIDUAL*

DISCLAIMER: Some of these notes are copied from a card I have recieved during protests. I will try to update if information changes.

Advice on Arrest

Say "NO COMMENT" to all police questions during casual chats, 'booking in' & interviews.

At the police station you may wish to give your name, address and date of birth to speed your release.

For your protection and that of other people don't answer further questions.

Do not accept CAUTION without advice from a recommended solicitor. This is an admission of responsibility and goes on the police national computer.

You have the right to FREE LEGAL ADVICE at the police station. Duty solicitors don't always have experience with protest laws, instead ask the police to contact one of the following:

ITN (Irvine Thanvi Natas): 020 3909 8100 HJA (Hodge Jones & Allen): 0808 274 8226 Bindmas: 0207 833 4433 / 020 7305 5638 (out of hours)

You have the right to have someone informed of your arrest (make that the Protest Support Line unless otherwise arranged: 07946 541 511)

You have the right to an interpreter if English is not your first language.

If you are or appear under 18 an appropriate adult should be called.

Legal Questions aboud Protest?

STOP AND SEARCH: You're not legally required to give your name and address under any stop and search power, see below website for more details. Legally you must be told the reason and the power that you are being searched under. "Under what power?"

If you witness an arrest, want support or have legal questions about protest:

[email protected] 07946 541 511 This email address can also be used if after arrest &/ or you gace a court date and want advice.

Legal Observers are independent volunteers who gather evidence on behalf of protestors and act to counter police intimidation and misbehaviour. Read more about your rights and protest legislation:

Advice for Trans People

Here is a link to a 22 page pamphlet (dated 2017) written by the Green and Black Cross on protesting as a trans individual.

Although this is specific to trans people, this includes detailed information that the previous advice doesn't have and may be useful to non-trans people too.

Information this booklet includes:

- Your rights under the Equality Act 2010 - The GBC key messages - What happens when you are stopped and searched - What happens when you are arrested - recommended solicitors - FAQs
