## Resource

I had a bit of a run-in with Spanish police the other day. It was pretty stupid, but at least I got some content out of it. So today's episode is about your rights in Spain (as a resident, tourist, or whatever) when dealing with Spanish law enforcement. Know your rights in a police stop and if you've been arrested. As usual, talk to a lawyer if you have doubts! Here's the article: https://expatmadrid.com/police-state/ My lawyer is Roberto at https://melcartabogados.com/ Thanks as usual to Raúl at Bike Tour in Spain: https://biketourinspain.com/ Cultural tours with Walks: https://expatmadrid.com/walks/ Food and market tours with Devour: https://expatmadrid.com/devour/ Etc, etc.
