No matter how powerless those caught up in the web of the law may feel, there is a chance to regain agency, argues Butler. Through groundbreaking and sometimes controversial methods--jury nullification (voting \"not guilty\" in drug cases as a form of protest), just saying \"no\" when the police request your permission to search, and refusing to work inside the system as a snitch or a prosecutor--ordinary people can tip the system towards actual justice. \u003cem\u003eLet's Get Free\u003c\/em\u003e is an evocative, compelling look at the steps we can collectively take to reform our broken system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47999768232087,"sku":"9781595583291","price":1889.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781595583291.webp?v=1783601682","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lets-get-free-a-hip-hop-theory-of-justice-9781595583291","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
