Law Enforcement at Burning Man: Know Your Rights #aclu
What should you do if you're pulled over by the police on the road to Burning Man? The above scene is an excerpt from "Busted: The Citizen’s Guide to Surviving Police Encounters" video created by FlexYourRights.org.Flex Your Rights is dedicated to providing the general public with the finest educational media available for teaching people to understand, appreciate, and assert their constitutional rights during police encounters.
You can watch the entire video on YouTube below or download it via BitTorrent here.
Also handy is a this wallet "bust" card provided by the ACLU. It's an abbreviated manual of what every citizen should know in case they are stopped by the police for questioning, pulled over by the road, searched, or arrested.

The Flat Smiley Project for Burning Man 2011
Flat Smiley Template Final
The Flat Smiley Project is collaborative new media project and community building activity for Burning Man 2011. Flat Smiley invites participants to befriend him and take him along on your travels to Black Rock City. Flat Smiley's message is: "No Burner left behind!" Using Flat Smiley is like sending a postcard from the playa for many burners who are not able to attend the event this year due to fact that Burning Man sold out. It's also a really fun project to get kids involved with, too.
To participate in the Flat Smiley project each participant is asked to download the Flat Smiley PDF file and then color and decorate it in an effort personalize it with their own creative flair. Then, very much like the "traveling gnome" prank in the movie Amelie, participants will take Flat Smiley to the playa and photograph and/or videotape him at various camps, art installations and famous city landmarks.
Finally, participants will upload the files to the Flat Smiley Flickr pool, Facebook Fan Page or YouTube playlist. Whatever method you use, be sure to tag them with the following tags: "flatsmiley" and/or "bm2011" (or hash tags "#flatsmiley" and/or "#bm2011" if you're using Twitter) to help us locate them in a search.
