Someone in PAL (Pacific Alternative Lifestyles, the only Hawaii BDSM organization) posted this in our yahoo forum, and I thought I'd share it with my other community, here on Lit. 
It's a list of guidelines put out by the NCSF, which is the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. I've included a link to their website below, it has ALOT of interesting and relevant reading for anyone BDSM, kink, or poly (or any combination of the above .)
I'd encourage everyone to print this out and keep one in your toybag, or car, and certainly around the house. If you find yourself face to face with the police or child protective services because your neighbors heard "alarming" noises coming from your house... or if you're pulled over for a busted tail-light and the cops see your open toybag in the backseat... or any number of other scenarios, this list could save you a hell of a lot of headache!
Kinky people have rights too!! LOL

Pocket Reference: Dealing with Law Enforcement
In dealing with officers ...
-DO stay calm.
-DO be respectful, polite and courteous.
-DO use your common sense.
-DON'T have a "bad attitude".
Statements and Communication …
-You have the right not to make statements.
-You have the right not to incriminate yourself.
-Be honest in whatever you decide to say.
-Use simple language – clear and easy to understand.
Entry to your property …
-You do not have to allow a "consent search" or a "voluntary entry".
-Attempt to handle it outside / at the door.
-If the officer demands to enter, voice your objection and stand
aside.
Miscellaneous …
-Volunteer for your partner to talk to the police.
-Transport toys in a secure location and in trunk of the vehicle.
Do not consent to a search.
-Keep in mind those things that demonstrate that consensual SM is
different from abuse.
-If you are arrested, do NOT make any statements, and ask for an
attorney.
