What is Copper Stopper?
In short, it’s a comprehensive guide for non-lawyers on how to protect yourself from law enforcement. It sets out your rights during the most common police encounters: at your door, on the street, on the road, and at the station. It explains how to deal with all types of enforcement officials—not just police officers—including bailiffs, debt collectors, street wardens, PCSOs, security guards, and local authorities.
It covers what you should and shouldn’t say, your rights, how to protect yourself, and what actions you can take to overcome abuses of authority.
Copper Stopper will help you avoid being stopped, ticketed, falsely arrested, or maliciously prosecuted. It debunks common myths about law enforcement powers and clears up misconceptions about what the police can and cannot do.
