Make one like this yourself.  Print 10 copies on regular printer paper (card stock would be nicer). Give them to your friends and family. Then all you have to do when stopped by police, no matter what the situation, you can be smart and deescalate it right from the beginning. Police are much more likely to abuse your rights if you don’t know what they are. If you assert rights from the beginning, you can possibly defuse a potentially bad situation. Combine this with your cell phone video recording directly to YouTube or Bambuser, and you’ve turned the odds against them.

And as far as the “respecting their job” part goes… you can shop that out if you want. I don’t think putting “I have nothing to hide” on a piece of paper is a good idea either.
