From initial sighting of a car on the road through arrest, Traffic Stops leads officers and prosecutors through the permissible ways to approach a traffic stop. Written by TDCAA Senior Staff Counsel Diane Beckham, Traffic Stops includes charts on the most common traffic offenses and important facts to know about each of them, easy-to-read tables on what officers can do at each step of a traffic stop, and plain-English summaries of what the courts have said about arrests, detentions, and searches related to cars, drivers, and passengers.
