The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy. But it is also unfortunately true that governments and police can violate this right \u2013 through the use of mass arrests, illegal use of force, criminalization of protest, and other means intended to thwart free public expression.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although the federal government claims the power to conduct certain kinds of warrantless stops within 100 miles of the U.S. border, important Fourth Amendment protections still apply. This helps you understand your rights within the 100-mile border zone.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
