Police Handbook?

[orangeman]

Well, I hope this doesnt sound crazy but is there any way I can get a copy of a police handbook online? An American version? I just want to know the rules and crap. I remember my teacher had an actual Police hanbook or somethin like that and it had alot of interesting stuff in it and since I dont think I'll be getting a copy physically, I was wondering is there anyway I could get a copy...electronically :p.

Exactly, I want to know what I can and cant do in certain situations and my rights to the fullest :p. And BlazeAfat1, that site is so old and it's not nice to suggest when Google is my first source for answers anyways. Obviously I failed at finding a copy if I posted it here :p.

How can a police book that dont have the exact same laws as my country help me understand the American police system any better? xD

O-man, hon, maybe do some research at the ACLU Web site http://www.aclu.org/ and watch that Know Your Rights video that some wise person posted here a couple of weeks back. It was very good. I'll try and find the link to it. Go into the criminal justice area of this ACLU site and then look at those links.

Read the Bill of Rights, which are the first 10 amendments of the U.S. Constitution. http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm

The problem with police handbooks is that they vary from community to community, depending on what local ordinances are. Search and seizure and arrest powers are largely determined by national and state laws, which is why those links above will come in handy. That's the tricky part of police handbooks is that those guys are enforcing laws at all different levels, city, state, and national. I'm not sure a departmental handbook is going to help you as much as you think it might right this moment, but some basic legal information will help.

Here's the link, O-Man, to the video I was talking about. Go to the top post and click on that Google link. A very good video and a very important one for everyone to watch. You can download it.
