Street Smart Laws Criminal Edition

Inside

What the
book covers

Twelve chapters, each built around situations rather than sections.

• 01 The street and the statute Where written law and lived reality stop agreeing — and what fills the gap.
• 02 Stops, questions, and silence What a police interaction actually is, procedurally, and what you are and are not required to do.
• 03 Search and seizure When a search is lawful, what a seizure memo is for, and why witnesses matter.
• 04 Arrest and the first six hours Grounds, intimation, the arrest memo, and the clock that starts running immediately.
• 05 The FIR and what precedes it Zero FIR, refusal to register, and the routes that exist when a station says no.
• 06 False accusation The anatomy of a fabricated complaint and the paper trail that answers it.
• 07 Extortion and the quiet threat The demand is never the first move. Recognising the four moves before it.
• 08 Digital exposure Devices, chats, cloud backups and what "voluntarily handed over" comes to mean.
• 09 Money, property and disputes When a civil matter is dressed as a criminal one, and how that is used as pressure.
• 10 Women, safety and misuse Protective provisions, their intent, and the difficult conversation about misuse.
• 11 Bail, in plain language Bailable, non-bailable, anticipatory — what each actually means for a normal person.
• 12 Sticky situations The scenario chapter. Concrete situations, step by step, start to finish.
