Indeed.

We should all educate ourselves on what our rights are and how to stand for them within the confines of speaking respectfully and yet standing for what is right.

There are a number of videos on youtube and elsewhere that instruct in the proper ways to interact respectfully and yet clearly make a stand that your rights will not be infringed upon.

Most infringements of rights that go on happen in a "matter of fact" fashion. You have waived your rights before you even know what happened.

These days you have to overtly educate yourself how to actively maintain your rights or you will waive them left and right without even knowing you did it. Of course a lot of that has to do with the fact that many people don't even know what their rights are.

Like, in the interaction in the youtube video... he asked if he was legally bound to answer this question. Their response said it all... no... he was not. But that didn't keep them from badgering and threatening him.
