Search & Seizure Survival Guides: Bulletproof Report Writing: A Field Guide for Law Enforcement (Paperback)

The purpose of this book is simple: I want you to become an articulation expert. Articulation is often the key to winning suppression hearings, trials, and civil right's lawsuits. Articulation has two goals. First, you need to provide enough evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Second, you must describe how you obtained your evidence lawfully. In other words, were your searches and seizures in compliance with the Fourth Amendment? And were your confessions, if any, in compliance with the Fifth Amendment? Do that and you have a bulletproof report.
