When a police officer pulls over a male African American driver, the result is usually an arrest. 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...
- how to avoid getting stopped in the first place
- what to say when questioned, and how to say it
- what you'll need to prepare for a court case
- how to handle yourself in court
- ...and much more
