After a week of tragic events in the United States, including allegations of police brutality, racially motivated killings and the slaying of five police officers, we thought that we’d ask the question: “What should you do if your car is stopped by the police in Trinidad and Tobago?” It goes without saying that you should generally be polite and compliant, but there are a few things to keep in mind. These issues are addressed in our third #KnowTheLaw information guide. The Hugh Wooding Law School Human Rights Law Clinic aims to assist the average citizen to understand how the law works and how it can protect you. Some of the content in this guide was adapted from the Street Law Handbook produced by our friends at Street Law South Africa. This information is provided for information purposes only. Of course, if you require legal advice, please contact an attorney-at-law.
