Description

Street Legal: A Guide to Pre-trial Criminal Procedure for Police, Prosecutors, and Defenders 2nd Edition Ken Wallentine ISBN 9781641056984

This concise reference provides clear, practical guidance on pre-trial criminal procedure, with a focus on what is—and isn’t—allowed under the 4th Amendment’s search and seizure rules. Covering everything from traffic checkpoints and forceful felony arrests to Miranda warnings, inmate and cell searches, search warrants, electronic surveillance, and canine search procedures, it translates complex legal standards into understandable terms. Each topic is supported by citations so readers can access full case law for further study.

To make the book as practical as possible, it includes numerous charts, checklists, and guides, such as a Quick Checklist for Search Warrant Affidavits, Homicide and Violent Assault First Responders Checklist, In-Custody Death Checklist, Affiant Training and Experience Resumé Guide, Telephonic Warrant Form, and more. This essential guide ensures that everyone involved in search and seizure operations is fully equipped with reliable, easy-to-use resources.
