Stand Your Ground, Don’t Get Pushed Around

If a cop stops you and says, "Show me your ID," 
Know your rights before you agree.
They can’t demand it just on suspicion, 
There must be a crime, a law must be broken.
No crime? No reason? Then stand your ground, 
Don't allow yourself to get pushed around.
If they threaten you with arrest, if you don’t comply, 
They have broken the law, and their career dies.
They’ll lose their shields and all immunity due, 
They and the police department can now legally be sued, 
For using force where force wasn’t due.
If you don’t use your rights today, 
They most definitely will fade away. 
So know the rules, stand up, be smart, 
Don't let fear tear our rights apart.
