It's official, from Joe's own mouth. He states, over and over again under oath, in a video-taped deposition, on 12/16/09 in Phoenix, AZ, that he did not write, nor does he agree with, much of what was written in this book. Even the title!

From the deposition:
BODNEY: Do you still view illegal immigration as a threat to our country as "Joe's Law" says on its cover?
ARPAIO: I don't think I put that title up there.
BODNEY: That was your co-author's title?
ARPAIO: or the publisher. You know how that works.
BODNEY: Uh-huh. but I think you testified that illegal immigration is in your view a threat to America.
ARPAIO: No I think when you say "threat" it's not like a terrorist threat.

If the PDF has been taken down by the time you read this, just do a [...] search for it. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere. And it's a far more interesting, and honest, read than this book!

Sherrif Joe yet again manages to get some public attention with the publishing of a book. His priorities are ill placed on gaining media attention in lieu of fighting crime.

Joe, where's the section on you killing hundreds of mentally challenged or physically handicapped people in your jails? The part where you're the defendant in over one thousand and five hundred wrongful death cases that could cost your taxpayers over 500 million dollars? The part where you talk about spending fourty cents on food each inmate a day, but a dollar twenty on your dogs? Wait, that part's in there! But not the part where your state charges inmates seventy dollars each day an inmate spends in prison. Seems a little less impressive then, right? The part where your son-in-law is a deputy editor in his local paper, and conveniently buries or does not print any negative stories about you, so the general public doesn't know about the atrocities your police department? The part where your sherrif's department has THE LARGEST public relations division out of any police force in the country? Wait, that part is why this book exists! This book is, quite simply, nothing more than PR for Joe Arpaio. How much taxpayer money did it cost you to get this book ghostwritten?

I got this book signed by Sheriff Joe, and now it turns out the signature was the only thing in the whole book he actually wrote! Not only did he not write the book, but he doesn't even agree with what's written in it.

I want my money back. Joe writes one thing, then pulls a Yogi Berra in a deposition last week and says, "I didn't say all them things I said."

Blaming the content of the book on his vassal, Len Sherman is lame. Or weak. Or a lie. Take your pick. Hopefully, there is an attorney out there working on a class action lawsuit because of the outrageous lies in this book.

Oh, and don't buy a new copy. I found some used ones here for less than the price of a postage stamp.

Self-promoting politician Joe Arpaio admitted in a deposition on Dec. 16, 2009 that he hasn't read the book, Joe's Law and doesn't agree with everything in it. If you believe in the Bill of Rights, you won't agree with the book either. It's no surprise Joe Arpaio is distancing himself from the jingoistic, nativist rhetoric in the book, since he is being sued for racial profiling. He is also under grand jury investigation for abuse of power. The publisher should change the title to Joe's Law: America's Most Illegal Sheriff Abuses the Rights of Immigrants, and Whoever Else Threatens His Bogus Media Image.

Can we clone Joe Arpaio and put him in every county, city, and federal penal institution in the U.S. and replace all the bozos in the House and Senate with a Joe-Clone, also? LET'S START A WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN: "WAY TO GO: ARPAIO! JOE ARPAIO FOR PRESIDENT...OUR LAST VESTAGE OF COMMON SENSE".
SIGN ME UP!
Read Joe's first book: "America's Toughtest Sheriff" and then read the new one "Joe's Law"......and PLEASE share the books with others.....pass them along!

I live in Arizona and no issue is more important than illegal immigration, and Joe's Law offers a fascinating and surprisingly humane and humane portrait of what's really happening, a portrait you don't get from either local or national new, and certainly not from the blowhards on the radio. It was also interesting, and great fun, too, to listen to the sheriff wax on about the media, politicians (especially John McCain) and everyone else he encounters, for better or worse. I recommend this book highly to anyone interested in the leading issues of the day, and where this country is headed.

Joe's Law tells it like it is, and is well written and factual. Joe is doing what the government should be doing to protect our country. I am proud to be a member of his Posse for the last six years and look forward to serving him after his re-election this fall.

This book is pretty much a total rewrite of his previous book. He would be sued but you cant sue yourself for copying your own book to make more money. This was really discouraging when you are expecting to get a new book and get ripped off. If this is any indication of how he does his job I will have to reconsider whether a lot of these articles in the papers are telling the truth or not. If someone is willing to rip off his fans then what is he capable of with his enemy's.

Real disappointing Joe. I will not buy another one of your books and now I realize why there are so many of your used books on this site. By the way I just found out that he named himself America's toughest sheriff! Can you believe that? What a joke.
