Officers and prosecutors have come to rely on the best basic “how-to” guide through the often-confusing world of search and seizure. The search & seizure manual takes you through statutes, caselaw, and real-life examples, with handy forms (all included on a CD-Rom) and examples to follow. Topics covered include:

• preparing warrant affidavits;
• probable cause;
• executing search & arrest warrants;
• suppression hearings; and
• specialty warrants.
