I wish I could record the firing range and the SWAT demonstration, but they won't allow it. :( Terry, I’m going to try really hard to take copious notes!

Ah, I felt right at home.</blockquote> So true! I made a few contacts in my Sheriff's Office CPA course, and when I asked one if I could pick his brains (which ended up being over beer, not coffee--learned a lot about cops that night!), he invited a colleague who just happened to be writing a book as well. That's how I met Detective Mark Hussey, who's been a regular on my blog every Friday since January. Can't wait for more. Thanks for sharing.

Example: They may arrest, detain, identify. Color of Authority is also used when a sworn officer violates these powers. Example: A necessary force maybe used to take a subject into custody. However, once that subject is cuffed the force must stop. To use additional force at this point would violate the "color of authority" rule. Rodney King would be the best well known example of this. “Color of Authority defines what powers law enforcemnt can exercise in the course of their duties.

I'm going to try and post blogs on each class I take. There are 7 total. I'm taking the course because while my husband is a retired police officer and is wealth of info, the feds are a whole different ball game. So is the new series I'm writing. It's on a whole 'nuther level and I want to write with authority. Researching on the web is good, experiencing first hand is better. :) Color of authority or color of law is a term used when a sworn officer of the law acts in an official capacity. He was acting under the color of authority. The trouble comes when they, the law enforcement officer, abuses that authority i.e. excessive force, false arrests, falsifying evidence, sexual assault etc. Glad you enjoyed the blog today, Lynn.

Also a query: In #5, what is meant by "color of authority"? I understand the other items, but this doesn't make any sense to me. Thanks!
