Bustcard

Download PDF Download Section

Bustcards are an essential item to take with you on a protest.

They provide you with our key advice, information on stop and search and arrest, and the names and numbers of solicitors who can help you.

We often hear stories from people who weren’t carrying a bustcard as they didn’t expect to be arrested.
Always write the name and number of a solicitor and the Protest Support Line on your arm. Don’t be caught out!
