    I have been arrested in NYC.

    I repeated over and over “am I being detained?” and “am I free to go?”

    When they searched my backpack, I said several times “I do not consent to a search”. They heard me, and they asked if I was mentally ill and needed to be sent to a mental institution because I would say one of these lines in response to every question they asked me. They were threatening to book me in a mental institution for asserting my rights!

    They searched my shit, arrested me, locked me in a cage all night, and released me. I was charged with a bullshit crime, showed up in court, and the courts auto dropped all charges.

    Police in NYC are infamous for violating your rights, not to mention murdering people.
