He provides an understanding of central legal principles, explains key vocabulary, and helps readers to overcome familiar misconceptions. Topics include: Workplace rights Prenups and postnups Identity theft Disputes with neighbors New rules of personal bankruptcy Your rights as a tenant—and a landlord Living wills and power of attorney Police searches of your home and car And many more

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS THE NEWEST VERSION OF POLICE ENCOUNTERS, PLEASE ENJOY!!!This book is written by a former investigator and was designed to give the everyday citizen critical information about their rights when dealing with law enforcement. There might be information in this book you only need to know one time, but that one time could save your life. Case laws are also included.1) What is the difference between a frisk and a search? 2) Did you know that if you were getting patted down (frisked) by an officer and that officer starts manipulating the items in your pocket with his finger, that "pat-down" just became and illegal search? 3) Did you know that if that officer puts his hand in your pockets that "pat-down" just became an illegal search? 4) Did you know that a "pat-down" is to be conducted on the outer layer of your clothing? Police Encounters: Know Your Rights was designed to educate it's readers on their everyday rights. This book is written by a former Investigator, SWAT member, and Hostage Negotiator. As an Investigator I've worked: Street level narcotics and was assigned to a DEA task force (developed informants, conducted surveillance, conducted undercover operations, conducted wire taps) Property crimes (burglary and thefts) Person's crimes (aggravated assaults and violent offenses) Sexual assaults (rapes and sexual assaults against children) White collar crimes (identity thefts and frauds.) As an investigator I've worked God knows how many cases. It's sad, but many of them were crimes against children, we receive too many of those. Anyway, I drafted numerous search warrants in my career to search everything from vehicles to body cavities. I've taken thousands of arrest warrants and conducted about the same number of interviews. I've had people confess things to me from petty thefts to despicable child molestations. And I've received all the information with a straight face and the suspect thinking I was there to show them support. I can't recount how many times I conducted an interrogation and thought to myself, "You need to ask for a lawyer right about now." But, my job was to extract information; so I did. I've participated in more than my share of hot pursuit chases, high risk warrant services (arrest warrant and search warrants), no-knock search warrants, and stand-offs in which I had to negotiate. With that being said, the information in this book is true and accurate with applicable case law to back it up. After each section of this book you will find numerous case laws with brief descriptions that will support what was just stated. Feel free to research the case laws and read the full scenario of what happened to bring about the case law. Also, the "examples" given in this book are taken from actual events so everything is true to life. Police Encounters: Know Your Rights is straight forward and very easy to understand. If you didn't know the answers to the questions asked, then you need to get this book. There is no telling how many times your civil rights have already been violated, and you didn't have the slightest idea. If you have a friend or loved one in college, this is the book for them. If you have brushes with the law, then this is the book for you. There is information in here that you didn't know about, that I guarantee. Now is the time to gain this new knowledge so that you can be mentally aware for you and those close to you. There is information in this book that you may only need to know one time, but that one time can be the difference between freedom and life in prison, or remaining a sexual assault victim or fighting back with the law. The knowledge is here, I suggest you give it a once over because I've personally sent people to prison who didn't know when to ask for a lawyer. Grant, they did the crime, but a lawyer could have helped negotiate a lighter sentence for a confession and cooperation. Don't be one of these people.

Book excerpt: For more than 200 years, the Constitution of the United States has been a “working” document, maintaining the original principles upon which our nation was founded while, at the same time, changing with the country, as reflected in its amendments. While the U.S. Constitution itself outlines the basic structure of the federal government, its twenty-seven amendments address many subjects but primarily focus on the rights of individual American citizens. This booklet outlines those rights, offering historical context and other information that is both interesting and informative.The continued vitality of our democracy is dependent upon an informed citizenry. Understanding the history of the Constitution and its amendments will assist all of us in more fully appreciating these rights and responsibilities as they have evolved over time. Moreover, such understanding will ensure that these rights will continue to be exercised, valued, and cherished by future generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on decades of experience, Jennifer Laviano, a high-profile special education attorney, and Julie Swanson, a sought-after special education advocate, help parents of students with disabilities navigate their school systems to get the services they need for their children. Parents will find no other book on special education like Your Special Education Rights. Julie and Jennifer demystify the federal laws that govern the rights of public school children with disabilities and explain how school districts often ignore or circumvent these laws. They pull the curtain back on the politics of special education, exposing truths that school districts don’t want you to know, such as the fact that teachers are often under extraordinary pressure not to spend resources on services. Most importantly, they outline the central rights you and your child have regarding your child’s education. Did you know that you can refer your child for a special education evaluation? That you can ask for a second opinion if you disagree with the results of some or all of the testing? That you are entitled to parent counseling, training, and more? They also show you how to take that knowledge and apply it to advocating for your child. Here’s what you need to know about the paperwork you will have to complete, detailed information on how to advocate for your child and how to craft language in documents that benefit your child, and more. Filled with vital information and invaluable resources, Your Special Education Rights gives you the information you need to help your child succeed in school and beyond.
