PRIMER ON CHANGING CONSTITUTIONAL GUIDELINES ON LAW ENFORCEMENT DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE STREET POLICEMAN'S ABILITY TO CONFORM HIS CONDUCT TO THE LAW.
Abstract
THE BOOKLET, PREPARED BY A LAWYER, OUTLINES MANY DOCTRINES RECENTLY CHANGED OR EXPLAINED BY SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. INCLUDED ARE CASES DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, OBSCENITY, SEARCH AND SEIZURE, SUITS AGAINST POLICEMEN, AND INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES. THE AUTHOR OFFERS ADVICE TO POLICE OFFICERS ON HOW THEY CAN SUCCESSFULLY PURSUE THEIR JOBS WITHOUT VIOLATING PROTECTED RIGHTS OR DESTROYING THE ADMISSIBILITY OF THE EVIDENCE THEY OBTAIN.
