UNDERSTAND YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THE LAWFUL LIMITS OF POLICE AUTHORITY THROUGH CLEAR, FACTUAL GUIDANCE!

The Citizen's Guide to Police Encounters by bestselling author-artist and award-winning historian Lochlainn Seabrook is a clear and visually grounded exploration of the essential constitutional rules that govern everyday interactions with law enforcement. Created with the same precision and integrity found in all of Seabrook's works, this volume distills complex legal principles into practical, reliable guidance seldom taught in schools, civics courses, or driver's education programs, and is written in a neutral voice that respects both citizens and police.

Featuring clean, retro-inspired illustrations paired with concise, rigorously researched chapters, this book offers:

- Verified information drawn from constitutional text, landmark cases, judicially recognized principles, and accepted training standards.

- Clear, consistent entries covering traffic stops, vehicle searches, Miranda rights, home encounters, recordings, arrests, and common misconceptions.

- Accurate explanations of lawful boundaries that protect both public safety and individual liberty.

- A balanced overview of police authority presented alongside the rights and responsibilities of the citizen.

- An introduction outlining why constitutional literacy-largely absent from standard curricula-strengthens both good citizenship and effective policing.

- A presentation style ideal for students, drivers, families, educators, and all Americans seeking factual, nonpolitical guidance.

Comprehensive yet concise, The Citizen's Guide to Police Encounters serves as both a dependable reference work and an accessible visual handbook for modern readers. Objective, meticulously researched, and clearly composed, it continues Seabrook's tradition of uniting evidence-based instruction with thoughtful, real-world application. Available in paperback and hardcover. (All text copyright (c) Sea Raven Press.)

American polymath, bestselling author, award-winning historian, and acclaimed artist and filmmaker Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is the leading popularizer of authentic Civil War history and one of the most prolific, respected, and important scholars and nature-writers in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the ""new Shelby Foote"" and the ""American Robert Graves,"" and by his fans as the ""Voice of the Traditional South."" The longstanding SCV member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the multi-genre author and editor of over 110 educationally enlightening books for all ages. Described by his readers as ""game changers"" and ""life-altering,"" his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook is a lifelong writer with a 50-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster ""Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!""
