Police Encounters: Know Your Rights

Book Synopsis: 1)What is the difference between a frisk and a search? 2)Did you know that if you were getting patted down (frisked) by an officer and that officer starts manipulating the items in your pocket with his fingers, that “pat-down” just became an illegal search? 3)Did you know that if that officer puts his hand in your pockets, that “pat-down” just became an illegal search? 4)Did you know that a “pat-down” is to be conducted on the outer layer of your clothing? Police Encounters: Know Your Rights was designed to educate its readers on their everyday rights. This book is written by a former Investigator, SWAT member, and Hostage Negotiator. As an Investigator I’ve worked: Street-level narcotics and was assigned to a DEA task force (developed informants, conducted surveillance, conducted undercover operations, conducted wiretaps) Property crimes (burglary and thefts) Person’s crimes (aggravated assaults and violent offenses) Sexual assaults (rapes and sexual assaults against children) White-collar crimes (identity thefts and frauds.) As an investigator I’ve worked God knows how many cases. It’s sad, but many of them were crimes against children; we receive too many of those. Anyway, I drafted numerous search warrants in my career to search everything from vehicles to body cavities. I’ve taken thousands of arrest warrants and conducted about the same number of interviews. I’ve had people confess things to me from petty thefts to despicable child molestations. And I’ve received all the information with a straight face and the suspect thinking I was there to show them support. I can’t recount how many times I conducted an interrogation and thought to myself, “You need to ask for a lawyer right about now.” But, my job was to extract information; so I did. I’ve participated in more than my share of hot-pursuit chases, high-risk warrant services (arrest warrants and search warrants), no-knock search warrants, and stand-offs in which I had to negotiate. With that being said, the information in this book is true and accurate with applicable case law to back it up. After each section of this book, you will find numerous case laws with brief descriptions that will support what was just stated. Feel free to research the case laws and read the full scenario of what happened to bring about the case law. Also, the “examples” given in this book are taken from actual events so everything is true to life. Police Encounters: Know Your Rights is straightforward and very easy to understand. If you didn’t know the answers to the questions asked, then you need to get this book. There is no telling how many times your civil rights have already been violated, and you didn’t have the slightest idea. If you have a friend or loved one in college, this is the book for them. If you have brushes with the law, then this is the book for you. There is information in here that you didn’t know about, that I guarantee. Now is the time to gain this new knowledge so that you can be mentally aware for you and those close to you. There is information in this book that you may only need to know one time, but that one time can be the difference between freedom and life in prison, or remaining a sexual assault victim or fighting back with the law. The knowledge is here, I suggest you give it a once over because I’ve personally sent people to prison who didn’t know when to ask for a lawyer. Grant, they did the crime, but a lawyer could have helped negotiate a lighter sentence for a confession and cooperation. Don’t be one of these people.PLEASE GO TO THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE FOR THE NEW APP, TACTICAL DECISIONS, IT IS AN AWESOME ADDITION TO THE BOOK. PLEASE PASS THE WORD AND FOLLOW ON TWITTER @TACTDECISIONS.
