5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent defense book against bad police officers, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Legal Minds: Detecting Rogue Police Officers and Other Important Law Enforcement Issues (Paperback)

Just finished reading my copy of Legal Minds. We all know across America there are rogue cops. When a police officer commits a crime, it's particularly terrible and barbaric.

This book does more than give citizens tips on dealing with rogue cops, it also examines the mentality of criminals in general. The book is small and easy to read, but every page is precise, to the point, and revealing.

The main points that stood out in the book was the articles dealing with arrests, lie detector tests, and especially police interrogation procedures. I know the police detectives reading this book are furious. Many of the issues he reveal are rights granted to all citizens, but not exercised by the citizens. Many detectives have abused these laws in my opinion. They may have the right to "trick" you, but I appreciate Legal Minds giving me the right to see the tricks.

Robert Davis is very straight and honest about bad cops, without sounding like he was putting down the good ones. Dr. Davidson's commemtaries examines his articles and explains the behavioral motivations of the officers committing such crimes and is very revealing. The two authors make a good team, a former cop and an educator.

I strongly suggest that everyone get this book before you need it! The small cost of the book verses the information it contains makes this book a steal.
