An amazing true story of human survival. A former award winning police officer has written two books called COP OUT and LEGAL MINDS, both available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, and other online retailers. The author's second book, called LEGAL MINDS, is wriiten with Dr. Roxanne M. Davidson, a Professor of Behavioral Studies. His books are a must read for anyone concerned with bad cops, how to detect bad cops, what to do or say if arrested, political corruption, and other interesting law enforcement issues. First the story of COP OUT.
COP OUT goes into detail about how Mr. Davis was influenced by a corrupt senior officer on the New Orleans Police Department in the1970's and committed a crime while on the job as a young naive officer. Later he was arrested and became a fugitive from justice for 22 years. Much of his time was spent living as a nomad in various woods, forests, and cities in Canada and the United States.
The book ends with the officers' eventual surrender to law enforcement in 2001. He essentially "banished" and "incarcerated" himself for 22 years while living in various forests and many cities without family, friends, or any support. He survived for over two decades. The author now conducts interviews with various television stations and speaks to youths, schools, groups, and various organizations about avoiding crime and corruption. He is particularly focused on admonishing youths about the dangers of crime. The author has dedicated his life to exposing corrupt police officers and their unfair tactics.
It is a true memoir, based on the time periods of 1977-2001. This book is a very excellent inspirational story about overcoming incredible odds. The books' central theme is transformation and repentance. What was especially interesting about the author's past life is that he was a former devout atheist. The book details the cities, states, and national forests he lived in, how he survived in the woods, how he dealt with the harsh elements, what animals he hunted and consumed, how he dealt with loneliness, and what led him to surrender in the year 2001. The author is currently single and is actively involved with community and civic organizations.
His articles and books are both interesting and useful, dealing with such issues as:
Tips for females to avoid the crime of rape, tips to help one detect bad cops if stopped and what to do, what to do and say if you're arrested, should you take a lie detector test, what to do and how to act if jailed, clemencies and extraditions, paroles and probations, illegal police interogation tactics, felonies and misdeameanors, summons and warrants, searches and seizures, and the detection and reporting of corruption.
His book was so unbelievable when first released that CBS investigated his story for weeks, and aired a special documentary about the author's life in early May of 2007 by special reporter George Sells.
The author has created an alliance with Copwatch, a national agency designed to promote public safety by assuring that all police officers are accountable for their actions.
It's been reported that Mr. Davis was soo sickened by his past almost 30 years ago that he has embarked on a dangerous but noble assignment... to author his "tell all" book about bad cops and corruption and investigate and expose all bad law enforcers. The author currently assist citizens across the country with police abuse and police brutality issues, despite the many threats he receives from bad cops.
As a token of his personal regret as a former rogue officer nearly 30 years ago, the author's proceeds from the sales of COP OUT are donated to charities. Some of his donations are to :
The Stop Rape Crisis Center, St. Jude Children's Hospital, The Prevent Child Abuse Center, National Federation for the Blind, The American Red Cross, Crime Stoppers, The Center of Hope for Women , The Working Interfaith Network (a unity of 30 churches of diverse faiths), The Son Edna Writers Foundations ( founded by Actor Morgan Freeman and his wife), The YMCA and The New Orleans Police Foundation.
LEGAL MINDS is the author's second book, co-authored with Dr. Roxanne Davidson. LEGAL MINDS speaks not only about various crimes committed by criminals but the book examines the mentality and behavior patterns of various criminals.
Mr. Davis consults with a noted criminologist and receives technical information and other preliminary data related to police arrests and other law issues from Attorney, Editor, and Criminologist Philip Matthew Stinson. Mr. Stinson's educational credentials are impeccable. He has an AAS degree in Administration of Justice from Northern Virginia Community College, a Bachelor of Science degree in Public and International Affairs from George Mason University, a J.D. from The University of the District of Columbia, and a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice.
All articles written by Robert Davis are his sole opinion. In addition, all individuals in Mr. Davis articles are innocent until proven guilty. Legal Minds is not a technical manual. If you have serious issues with the law, the authors strongly advise you to seek the advice and counsel of a professional attorney.
