Abstract:
The Arrest Handbook was created to empower people living in heavily policed communities by providing information about what their rights are in police interactions. Arrest, searches and seizures, and detention, are all covered in easy-to-understand language. Special sections included in this updated guide include mental health and involuntary treatment, youth and the law, civil disobedience, protest, and Indigenous resistance. Policing continues to disproportionally target Indigenous, Black, and other racialized people, people who are unhoused, people with mental health challenges, people who use drugs, people who are HIV+, and gender-diverse people.
