"Don't put your hands in your pockets.
"Don't put your hoodie on.
"Don't be outside with no shirt on.
"Check in with your people; it don't matter even if you're down the street.
"Don't touch anything you're not buying.
"Never leave the store without a receipt or a bag, even if it's just a pack of gum.
"Never make it look like there's an altercation between you and someone else.
"Never leave the house without your ID.
"Don't drive with a wifebeater on. Don't drive with a du-rag on. Don't go out in public with neither.
"Don't ride with the music too loud. Don't stare at a Caucasian woman.
"If a cop stops you randomly and starts questioning you, don't talk back, just compromise.
"If you ever get pulled over, hands on the dashboard and ask if you can get your license and registration out."
