Arrest, Search, and Investigation in North Carolina

This book covers the legal rules that govern an officer's authority to enforce laws and to investigate criminal offenses. It also covers the basic rules of evidence in criminal cases. Supplementary material is placed in footnotes at the bottom of the text, and relevant case summary sections are located at the end of each chapter (for chapters 2-5). Footnotes to the text and case summary sections include appellate cases and statutory references to assist in researching particular issues.

The book is current with case law through June 2016 and statutory law through the 2016 legislative session. It contains a subject index and a case index. The fifth edition replaces all prior editions and supplements.
