Sample Book Insights:

#1 Arrest is a shattering point in your life, a bolt of lightning that has hit you. It is an unassimilable spiritual earthquake that can cause people to slip into insanity.

#2 The traditional image of an arrest is the sharp nighttime ring or the rude knock at the door. The insolent entrance of the unsleeping State Security operatives. The frightened and cowed civilian witness at their backs.

#3 The arrest process is different for each person, and it is up to the arresting officer to decide how much resistance the arrested person will put up. The arresting officer will then determine how much resistance is needed to make the arrest.

#4 Arrests vary in form. They can be made at home, at work, or outside of your regular environment. It is important that the person you are arresting have no chance to destroy, hide, or pass on anything to anyone.
