Morley Swingle

“Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi, Author of Helter Skelter 

In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor who is also a terrific storyteller shares more than thirty legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Morley Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system from crime scenes to courtrooms.

Swingle takes readers on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment. Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who saves lives in his day job, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment."

“If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels surely captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr.

“Swingle has written an interesting, easily approachable—and rare—account of daily life as a prosecuting attorney. I am unaware of any prosecutor who writes better than Swingle. The book is refreshing. Mark Twain almost certainly would have enjoyed it.” Steve Weinberg, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Forward, Reviews of Indie Books

“Those who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham will enjoy this book.” Lithuanian Librarian

Scoundrels to the Hoosegow: Perry Mason Moments and Entertaining Cases From the Files of a Prosecuting Attorney

January 6, 2021 crashed into the Fourth Amendment’s right to privacy as investigators used the events of that day to get a geofence search warrant identifying 1,498 people who overran the Capitol building. This massive geofence warrant tested the restrictions of the Fourth Amendment on the ability of law enforcement to force Google to reveal a person’s location at a specific time and place.

The first geofence search warrant was issued in 2016. By 2021, Google was responding to 11,000 geofence warrant requests per year from police officers wanting a list of cell phones at a crime scene at the time the crime was being committed.

This new aspect of Fourth Amendment constitutional law is exciting and complex. If you are a law enforcement officer, prosecutor, criminal defense lawyer, judge, or citizen who cares about the constitutional right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment, you need to read this book.

In Geofence Search Warrants & Tower Dumps, veteran prosecutor and award-winning author Morley Swingle provides a groundbreaking look at this emerging and controversial development in Fourth Amendment law.

“Swingle provides a succinct, even entertaining, summary of Fourth Amendment law as it applies to geofence warrants and tower dumps. This book will help prosecutors, criminal defense lawyers and judges understand this fast-growing area of the law.” Robert H. Dierker, Missouri Circuit Judge, retired, author of Missouri Criminal Practice Handbook

“Morley Swingle’s Geofence Search Warrants & Tower Dumps is the best book I’ve seen for police officers who want to understand geofence and tower dump search warrants. He writes in a style that is both easy to read and even funny at times. I highly recommend this book.” Dr. Carl A. Kinnison, Ret. Chief of Police, Cape Girardeau Police Dept., Ret. Director, Southeast Missouri State University Law Enforcement Academy

Geofence Search Warrants & Tower Dumps: How Law Enforcement Gets Them, Trial Techniques For Fighting Them
