Nakuba isihloko sokuqala sibala amalungelo amaningana ayisisekelo omphakathi, ngalinye lijule kakhulu. Ngokwesibonelo, ilungelo lokukhuluma ngenkululeko ngaphansi kweSichibiyelo sokuqala alivikeli nje kuphela amagama akhulunywayo kodwa futhi livikela nenkulumo engokomfanekiso, ingqungquthela enokuthula, nelungelo lokucela uhulumeni. Ilungelo lokuvota, ukulondolozwa yizigwegwegwe ze-15, 19, 24, kanye neziNguquko, liye lanwetshwa futhi laphikiswa kuwo wonke umlando waseMelika. Ukuqonda lokhu kuveza ukuthi umehluko uyenzeka nini futhi ungasabela kanjani ngokuphumelelayo.

  • [[Umthetho:0] Isokudla kukhululeke [: Ufihla umlomo, okubhaliwe, kanye nenkulumo engokomfanekiso, okungaphansi kwemingcele elinganiselwe (umz., ukuphehla, ukuhlanjalazwa).

Zifundise Ngokuqhubekayo

Amalungelo awami ndawonye. Izinqumo zeNkantolo, umthetho omusha, nemithetho elawula igebe elisemthethweni ihlala ikhona. Ukubhalisa izinhlangano ezivela e-ACLU, ukulandela iziphakamiso ezingokomthetho, nokuya ezindaweni zokusebenzela ezisemthethweni. Qaphela ngokukhethekile isifundazwe sakho nemithetho yendawo, njengoba inganikeza isivikelo esiqinile kunomthetho kahulumeni. Ngokwesibonelo, izifunda eziningi manje sezinesivikelo esikhudlwana ekuhlonisweni kwendlela yobulili nangabesifazane, ngisho noma isivikelo sikahulumeni singekho emhlabeni wonke.

Uma uhlanganyela emisebenzini yomphakathi enjengokubhikisha, funda imithetho eqondile ngemvume, izifunda ezikhululekile, nokusebenzelana kwamaphoyisa ezwe lakho. i-ACLU inikeza i-app yamahhala ethi “Yazi Amalungelo Akho” enikeza isiqondiso esiqondile sokulawula.

Ukubhala Konke Ngokucophelela

Lapho kwenzeka ukwephulwa komthetho, amabhukwana akhona angaveza noma aphule icala. Isihloko sokuqala siluleka ukugcina amarekhodi anemininingwane, kodwa nakhu okubonakala kufana nokusetshenziswa:

  • yenza ingosi ebhaliwe: usuku, isikhathi, indawo, amagama nezinombolo zamabheji ezihilelekile, incazelo eqondile yalokho okwenzekile, kanye namagama anoma imuphi ofakazi.
