Thanks to a new California bill, you will be given a copy of your civil rights during traffic stops.

CBS 13 reports, “Governor Brown signed AB 1918 over the weekend.

Assembly Bill 2918 already required the California Department of Motor Vehicles to provide a Driver’s Handbook with information regarding rail safety, abandoning or dumping an animal on a highway, and respecting the right-of-way of others. The Handbook now must include a driver’s rights if a peace officer pulls over a car.”
