Flex Your Rights' latest film, 10 Rules For Dealing With The Police, is narrated by famed Baltimore trial lawyer, former judge of circuit court and LEAP speaker Billy Murphy. LEAP's incoming executive director, retired Maryland State Police and Baltimore Police veteran Major Neill Franklin, served as a technical advisor for the film. Drawing from 33 years of law enforcement experience, Neill believes that the majority of police officers stay within the boundaries of the law, but that the film focuses on officers who are "getting it wrong" by violating basic freedoms such as the Fourth Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable search and seizure. The solution, he says, is to ensure that people are aware of their rights and exercise them properly, which he sees as a safeguard against police abuse. (From Roll Call, April 5, 2010)
