Many of us are not aware of the laws that govern our interactions with police. Do they always have the right to search us and/or our possessions? Must we follow all directions? And should we - even if we feel we are in danger?

The vocal ensemble Cappella Pratensis (the chapel of singers of the prairie, from Judocus Pratensis or Josquin des Prez or Josquin from the prairie), founded in 1987, sings Franco-Flemish music from the period between 1450 and 1600. During that time, composers such as Josquin Desprez, Jean Mouton, Pierre de La Rue, Jacob Clemens non Papa, Johannes Ockeghem and Guillaume Du Fay dominated the musical landscape of much of Europe.
