In most cases, the charges have nothing to do with motor vehicle violations, and everything to do with racial profiling, and how the driver conducts himself. A Black Man's Guide to Law Enforcement in America tells you everything you need to know about dealing with racial bias among those bound to serve and protect. You'll learn...

- what you'll need to prepare for a court case
