The webinar, presented by immigration law firm Rivas y Asociados in partnership with Road Ready Driving School, educates immigrant drivers in Oklahoma about their legal rights and practical safety measures during traffic stops by police or immigration agents (ICE). The session begins with an overview of why knowing one’s rights is crucial, especially given the prevalence of 287(g) agreements that can link traffic violations to immigration enforcement. Speakers outline step‑by‑step actions to take when lights flash behind a vehicle: pull over safely, keep hands visible, turn on interior lights, keep windows partially down, and present required documents (driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance). They stress the right to remain silent, to ask “Am I free to go?”, to refuse consent to searches of the car, phone, or person, and to request a lawyer, regardless of immigration status. The importance of recording the encounter, announcing the recording, and not obstructing the officer is explained. A “red card” (available in many languages) is introduced as a visual cue that the individual is exercising these rights. Common traffic infractions that trigger stops—speeding, illegal tint, failure to stop at lights, and DUI—are discussed, along with safety tips (checking lights, brakes, blind spots, seat belts). The webinar addresses documentation issues, clarifying that foreign driver’s licenses, consular IDs, or passports can serve as identification but are not substitutes for a valid Oklahoma driver’s license. Q&A scenarios cover interacting with children during a stop, refusing a vehicle search, and handling the arrival of an ICE agent. The presenters conclude with information about Rivas y Asociados’ emergency hotline (918‑419‑0178), their immigration services, and Road Ready’s licensing courses, contact details (405‑919‑8724, 3701 North Pennsylvania Ave, OKC), and safety instruction resources.
