| Summary |
"This essential 'how not to' guide explains how to act and what to say in the presence of police to minimize the chances of being arrested and to avoid add-on charges -- which can often lead to permanent disqualification from jobs, financing, and education. Citizens can learn how to avoid arrest both on the street and when pulled over in a vehicle and are alerted to basic tricks cops use to get people to incriminate themselves. Sprinkled with absurdity and humor, this urgent, eye-opening book is a guide to criminal justice for all Americans."--Publisher description. |
