I gave this a brief look. It has been mildly useful. There have been deep questions for me as to what constitutes legal issues for the police, as well as police ethics. For me, a lot of professions have different issues in this area- they all differ somewhat. I won't bore you with the details. I probably will complete the book later on.

Learning about individual Constitutional rights and how they apply to police behavior and the justice system in America. Wish I would have known this stuff along time ago!
