YOUR RIGHTS UPON BEING DETAINED: (according to Myron Dewey, from morning update on 10/17/16) Be respectful, Travel with someone. Film live. Be safe in documenting officers; they are not the enemy. You can ask: -What am I being detained for? Why? - What is my reasonable, articulatable suspicion? You can say: - I do not consent to a search. - I would like to see the warrant. - I am invoking my right to remain silent - I want a lawyer Also: - Women must have a woman officer if they insist on a strip search 11/22/16 Warnings to protectors about data security compromised - Democracy Now 1:14 www.facebook.com/democracynow/videos/10154697615013279/

House Bill 1304 makes it a misdemeanor to wear a mask or hood when committing a crime. House Bill 1426 increases penalties for riot offenses. It allows prosecutors to charge those who take part in a riot in a manner consistent with the potential for actual harm to health safety and well-being. Senate Bill 2302 allows the Attorney General to appoint ad hoc special agents. An example of this would be an out-of-state officer who comes to North Dakota responding to a request for assistance. All four bills have emergency clauses that make them effective immediately. http://www.kfyrtv.com/content/news/Gov-Burgum-signs-4-DAPL-inspired-bills-into-law-414676583.html

10/22/16 (posted 10/23/16) Standing Rock Rising FB Page Timeline Post (In-Camp Indigenous News) Regarding Mass Arrests on a Peaceful Prayer Walk: "Today an estimated 81 peaceful and prayerful water protectors were beaten, arrested, and sprayed with pepper spray. This is the world we live in. A world where when you take a stance to defend mother nature, and heritage, you become an 'eco-terrorist'. The world is falling apart, and we need your help. We are nearing the climax of a historic part of history. We need your support. We need your prayers. We need your protection and peace offerings. Stand with us, and help us stop the black snake. Help us do our small part to save the world. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION: WE NEED YOU HERE NOW. STAND WITH US. RISE WITH US. WE ARE RISING, AND WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN." www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1139871909412498&id=1131347910264898

10/18/16 "As a note to all Morton County Sheriff Departments associated agencies; United States code title: 42 // Section 1985: "conspiracy to interfere with civil rights" and also title: 42 // Section 1986 "action for neglect to prevent" will be charged to individual officers within these agencies that have failed to protect the liberties, civil, and human rights of water protectors, and their first amendment rights. Whereas under rule 155 of the international humanitarian law as decided at the Nuremberg trials following WWII, the defense of "we were just doing our jobs" will not hold up in court. It is advised to all oath keepers to uphold%
