The book begins with a historical overview of arrest rights, tracing their evolution through common law and landmark Supreme Court cases. It then progresses into detailed examinations of due process, the right to counsel, and unlawful detention, providing practical guidance on how to navigate these complex issues. For instance, understanding the scope of your right to counsel can be as crucial as knowing your Miranda rights. By demystifying these rights, the book serves as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand their protections within the criminal justice system.
