Synopsis

From the back cover: Police Authority and the Rights of the Individual spotlights that often gray area between a policeman's authority and your human rights: The obligation of the police to use their power to uphold the law and protect the public, and on the other hand the restraints put upon the police by the Constitution and the courts to preserve the personal freedom of all citizens...[this book]tells you -- the citizen -- what your rights are and how to protect them when confronted with the often heavy hand of the law. How has the role of the policeman in our society changed? Who is he, what does he do, what is his authority?
