an incredibly useful practical guide for the police market, this Fifth Edition is bound to build upon the Fourth's reputation as a go to guide, not only for police officers and police lawyers, but for any lawyer whose clients (individual or corporate) are the subject of police action. This edition retains the clarity, concision and practicality of its predecessors and is bolstered by expert legal analysis which definitely strikes the right balance between being informative as opposed to over-academic. References to the relevant case law are kept short and to the point, the authors no doubt tipping their hat to the notion that if you need to rely on case law to advise, there really is no substitute for reading the case itself.
