“Morley Swingle provides a succinct, even entertaining, summary of Fourth Amendment law.  These authoritative books will speed up the learning curve for any prosecutor, defense lawyer, police officer or judge wanting a thorough knowledge of Fourth Amendment law.”
— Robert H. Dierker, Jr., Missouri Circuit Judge, retired, author Missouri Criminal Practice Handbook

“Morley Swingle’s books Search Warrants and Warrantless Searches are the best books I’ve seen for police officers who want to understand the Fourth Amendment law of searches and seizures. In Search Warrants he tells you everything you need to know, from subtle complexities of search incident to arrest, to current topics like how to narrow a geofence area so a geofence warrant will survive a Fourth Amendment challenge. He writes in a style that is both easy to read and even funny at times. I highly recommend this book.”
