Arrest, Search, and Investigation in North Carolina, Sixth Edition, 2021

This edition, available in both print and digital versions, 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 print version of this edition contains a subject index and a case index and replaces all prior editions and supplements.

The text in the print version is current with case law through June 2021 and statutory law enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly through early July 2021. The Spring 2024 Update to the digital version is current through December 1, 2023.
