About Amparo

Amparo builds a free, bilingual pack you print and keep in the glovebox: a card that speaks for you, your documents laid out, your state’s rules, and the words to say.

Why it exists

Amparo is the Spanish word for shelter, and in law, for a constitutional protection. A traffic stop is a short, high-pressure conversation where knowing one sentence changes the outcome — and the people most likely to be stopped are least likely to have a lawyer’s number in their phone. The pack is free because charging for it would defeat the point.

What Amparo claims — and what it does not

• It claims: every published state rule is quoted from that state’s own statute, with the citation, so you can check it against the primary source yourself.
• It does not claim to be a law firm, to give legal advice, or to be attorney-reviewed. How we verify states exactly where that line sits today.
• It does not claim nationwide coverage. Three states are verified. Every other state page shows the federal rules that apply everywhere and says plainly what has not been checked.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no paid product.
