CAVEAT: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this work. However, this book is a summary of applicable law and is not an authority. Throughout the text, the law is frequently paraphrased to facilitate understanding. This study guide is for educational purposes only and may not be used as a substitute for legal advice or counsel. Should any material in this publication conflict with constitutional, statutory, or case law, the law provided by the constitution, statute, or case prevails. This book is intended to be a guide; and as such, it is not a substitute for thorough legal research and the advice of legal counsel or your police advisor. It is not intended to provide legal advice. If you are using this book as a secondary reference, this book should be the starting point to your research. Individual statutes may have additional requirements, including culpable mental states, specific elements, or defenses that this book does not explore in depth or as comprehensively as to be substituted for legal advice provided by an attorney. As always, consult your legal counsel for specific questions of law or application.
