ABOUT YOU AND THE POLICE!

Until now, the average American has lacked a simple, up-to-date summary of constitutional law regarding confrontations with the police. More and more peaceable, law-abiding folks are being caught up in the widening police dragnet of roadblocks, checkpoints,  searches, intrusive questioning  and civil forfeitures.  Americans have long needed a clear explanation of exactly where our rights end and executive power begins, especially if you travel or carry a gun.

More than a legal handbook, You & The Police! explains precisely how to win police confrontations using: sample dialogue, "what-if" scenarios, and practical tips. Armed  with this book, you will know just how to avoid traffic tickets, bogus searches, roadside delays, and general harassment. Probably 90% of erroneous civil  forfeitures from honest folks could have been avoided had they known about this  book. There is no reason for us to be bluffed or intimidated by the police any longer.

Updated for 2009! This new 2009 edition is a greatly revised, revamped, and expanded version since the revision of 2005. It contains some of Boston's thoughts on the 2008 Heller decision, plus many new Supreme Court cases since 2005.

Reviewed by several practicing attorneys, you can rely upon the quality information and ideas inside. This is still the only book of its kind, and a must read for every American in this increasingly regulatory age.

You and The Police! is a unique, timely title with excellent credentials.

The best all-around book on the subject of dealing effectively and constructively with the police in an encounter situation I have seen. I highly recommend it to all my clients who want an overview in plain language of what their rights are and how to keep them from being violated without resorting to an all-out confrontation. Constructive and practical advice for uncertain times. For the untrained, this book could make the difference between leaving a random traffic stop in custody and leaving under your own steam.

After reading your books You & The Police! and Bulletproof Privacy I feel it important to write a note saying "job well done." Because of the increasing Orwellian nature of this country, such books are very much needed. I look forward to your future works and will recommend your current books... Keep up the good work.

I recommend this book to anyone who's ever had even a mildly unpleasant experience with the police. It's a good summary of your essential and recognized rights (as established by precedent or case law), and contains information and advice that could prove invaluable the next time you see lights in your rearview mirror.
