Police in New Jersey may not request your ID or demand your name unless they are already issuing you a court summons. If police or ICE try to search you or your property, say, “I do not consent to this search.” Don’t physically resist. Police and ICE may not search you or your pockets or bags unless they have probable cause to believe they will find evidence of a crime or they are arresting you.
Police may not “frisk” or “pat down” your outer clothing unless they suspect you have a concealed weapon. If you’re stopped by police or ICE, ask “Am I free to leave?” If you can go and do not wish to talk to them, calmly walk away. For police and ICE, race or ethnicity alone is not a valid reason to stop you. ICE can’t hold you unless they have reason to think you are in the country without authorization. Police may not hold you unless they suspect you’re involved in criminal activity.
Anything you say can be used against you.ĭon’t touch officers. Keep your hands where they can see them.ĭon’t resist, even if you’re innocent or if you think the police or ICE are acting unfairly or unlawfully.
