KETTLING - what is it and your rights
by @1312foryou
"A kettle is when police surround demonstrators to keep them in a particular place. Kettles can be very large, holding hundreds, or very small, containing only a dozen. The key feature of a kettle is that people are held within it until the police decide to let them go. In a number of recent incidents, police have decided against releasing protesters, and instead have carried out a mass arrest.
[...]
-Protests that move quickly along unplanned routes are more difficult to kettle.
-Police also feign kettles - make it look as though they are about to kettle - to disperse a protest or make protesters move away from a certain area.
-Sometimes it is possible to see a kettle being formed and to move away quickly before the kettle closes, but it is often hard to see it coming. Processions which move quickly are more difficult to kettle, but may be easier to split up or disperse."

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE ARRESTED
Cops use arrests as opportunities to ENACT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE in the hopes of deterring activists from continuing the fight.
—-
Remember, there are only two things you need to say...
"I INVOKE MY RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT AND I WANT A LAWYER"
SAY BOTH! SAY NOTHING ELSE!
JAILS ARE A TRAUMATIC PLACE; YOU WILL LIKELY WITNESS LOTS OF ABUSE AND BE ABUSED.
—-
DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY SEARCHES. EVEN IF THEY TRY AND SEARCH YOU CONTINUE TO SAY:
"I DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS SEARCH".
You are not required to voluntarily unlock your phone; turn off your thumb print lock or Face ID ahead of time so they cannot force you to. Let your lawyer handle it.
—-
LEGAL RULES FOR PHONE CALLS: IT MUST BE PROVIDED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

Remember that anything you say in jail or over the phone is being recorded and surveilled (don't talk about your charges or give any details)
