I always wondered what a libertarian movie night would be like.

Some students at Pitt College in Pennsylvania recently held one where they focused on civil liberties.

A group of 10 politically active students gathered around a TV last night — not to watch Paul Ryan speak at the Republican National Convention, but to learn how to exercise their civil liberties when interacting with the police.

The Pitt College Libertarians held an event in Posvar Hall at 8:45 on Wednesday night to show the video “Busted: The Citizen’s Guide to Surviving Police Encounters.” The video, which is available for free on Youtube, stresses three points: Never consent to a search, never answer police questions without a lawyer present, and ask the police if you’re free to go instead of waiting for them to dismiss you.

The Pitt College Libertarians hosting the event said they felt it was important for everyone to know the law and how to use it.

“We stand for civil rights,” said Cameron Gray, vice president of the College Libertarians. “We have the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments for a reason.”

For other members of the College Libertarians, it wasn’t just about staying out of trouble.

“Everybody likes getting out of a ticket,” said Colin Jones, Pitt senior and member of the College Libertarians, “but it’s also good to show people in power that we know our rights.”

The Pitt College Libertarians is a campus group dedicated to supporting and advocating Libertarian ideals of personal freedom, a limited governmental role in society and principles of non-aggression.
