Abstract

IN FOUR SEPARATE PARTS, THE AUTHORS DISCUSS THE AREAS OF ARREST, THE EXCULSIONARY RULES, SEARCH AND SEIZURE, AND ASPECTS RELATED TO SEARCH AND SEIZURE. RELATED AREAS DISCUSSED INCLUDE ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, PRIVACY RIGHTS, PRIVATE PREMISE ENTRY, ENTRAPMENT AND RELATED DEFENSES, USE OF INFORMANTS AND HEARSAY INFORMATION, SEIZURE OF OBSCENITY, AND THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LIABILITY OF POLICE OFFICERS. EACH PART IS DIVIDED INTO CHAPTERS ON SPECIFIC TOPICS, E.G. THE USE OF FORCE, AND THE CITIZEN'S ROLE. EACH CHAPTER INCLUDES A DISCUSSION OF PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES, FOLLOWED BY SAMPLE CASES AND A LIST OF RELATED QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS.
