Attorneys offer advice on navigating cops and stops

Two local attorneys held a workshop at UNM on Wednesday that focused on what to do and not do when it comes to interactions with police officers, as well as the constitutional rights one has in such situations. Presented by the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty Staff Attorney Preston Sanchez and Albuquerque Public Defender Matthew Chavez, the workshop aimed to inform attendees of the basic rights they possess in situations that involve police officers, such as traffic stops.
