I can tell you what some of the problem is;
Penal Code
Code of Criminal Procedures
Transportation Code
Family Code
Health & Safety Code (drug laws)
Education Code
Alcoholic Beverage Code
Parks & Wildlife Code
Changes in ALL of those every two years.
Plus local laws and ordinances, policies and procedures, etc........
There is no way to keep all of that in your head at once. Roll call training must be conducted by LE administration to update officers on the changing laws, officers MUST keep paper or digital copies of these codes with them on duty and be able to refer to them.
DAs MUST refrain from instructing officers based on their OPINIONS, etc., etc.
I don't know the answer, but we need one!
