I wanted to say thank you for the time, effort, and passion you put into teaching our class (Baytown PD). I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot. You made the material engaging and enjoyable to learn, and I truly appreciate that.
All the classes instructed by Mike was great. I learned and the environment of the class was inviting. The materials shown in class were excellent and very useful. He really knows how to give his knowledge onto others.
Loved that his class was not death by PowerPoint. Kept the class engaged. Great instructor.
Very knowledgeable on the instructed topic and engaging.
Great webinar and Mike was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Always love the content put out!!
Awesome teacher webinar taught very well
Great class easy to understand
Very informational and knowledgeable.
We had the incredible opportunity to host B2G Advance Search and Seizure/Adv. Traffic Stops. I was thoroughly impressed with Mike's dedication for instructing such a critical topic. Mike is personable, down-to-earth, and incredibly passionate about search and seizure. His ability to quickly capture and maintain the attention of EVERYONE in the room speaks volumes about his talent as an instructor. His dedication is inspiring, and it is clear that he has a genuine desire to share this knowledge with all law enforcement officers. Thank you, B2G for offering such impactful courses, and we will hope to have Mike back soon!
Mike Boone has been the best instructor I've ever had. Boone was able to keep the class engaged and cover the material so everyone fully understood it. Boone even went above and beyond and took the time to come to a briefing for the night crew. I cannot recommend blue to gold and more specifically, Boone as an instructor, enough.
Very engaging and made the content easy to comprehend. Amazing instruction and very fun class
Very useful and information rich. I wish the academy taught this way.
One of the best teachers. Was able to explain the law in ways which was easy for a simple cops brain to understand. Definitely a training and instructor worth going to.
Michael is an excellent instructor, he is super knowledgeable! Great class!
Awesome job, full of information and awesome in answering questions!
Great class! Mike kept everyone engaged in the topic. Mike answered all questions and broke down every single answer in the sinplest way possible. Would definitely recommened 10/10.
I have taken many training classes over the course of my career including a previous Search & Seizure class from a separate instructor and company. Mike made it super easy to understand and definitely feel a lot more confident doing my job when it comes to the Fourth Amendment. The class was anything but boring and would definitely recommend anyone to take the class regardless of how much time on you have. One of the better classes I have taken, Mike did a phenomenal job. 5 Stars all around.
Attended Mike Boone's Search & Seizure course. He taught at a great pace and conveyed the contents very clearly.
Michael Boone's search & seizure class was great. He kept the class engaged and asked intuitive, thought provoking questions. This allowed for an enjoyable experience instead of having an instructor conduct a "death by power point" presentation. Due to the nature of the content being so gray with case laws consistently going back and forth as it relates to 4th Amendment laws, Boone was more than eager to be open to possibilities of a search/seizure example going either way in various scenarios so long as it was reasonably articulated. This type of characteristic and demeanor from a difficult topic is amazing and should be celebrated. Thank Boone!
Great instructor and interactive.
Great class , explained info well

I loved the review of case law and the specific examples he went into.
The title fit the content. The text was great. I love the right to be right to see concept.
Good information. Easy to understand.
Enjoyed the class. Had a lot of information that will help me in the future with writing reports. I like how they explain in detail what the courts are looking for that way you know what to do, but also how to properly articulate it in your PCAs.
Incredible as always. Very refreshing and teaches a lot of things that are overlooked in the academy. I feel more confident now whenever I see something in plain view.
This was a quick way to refresh the basics and importance of Plain View and Plain Feel.
Great content and time frame.
I learned a few things. I increased my understanding about containers. I can't wait for the next class!
Great training!
very awesome course and good information!!!!!!
Absolutely one of the best plain view class I've taken. Ret. Trooper MD State
Great refresher course on this topic
Even after many years as a Police Officer, this information was very valuable, and addressed many issues that are kind of vague with a lot of Officers
Good refresher and gained some new knowledge.
Excellent and helpful.
Outstanding course! Easy to understand...
Very informative, even for a short course. It's nice to have this as a reference so as to make sure that you are not creating new case law with your name attached.
Excellent course. Easy to follow and great insight. I will definitely sign up for more. ~ Sgt. Miner (NUPD) - Evanston, IL
Great Course and Instructor
This information is valuable for LEO's. More time needs to be spent on it.
Immediately Appearant and using Open View vs Plain view. Maybe it went in one ear and out the other during my time in the academy. But hearing now will allow me to polish my skills as a Deputy. This type of on the job education is extremely valuable.
Provided good basic information on what can be a much more complicated issue. Understanding plan view and plain feel is a vital tool in those rock and a hard place type situations.
Concise information delivered in a way that is easily understood and more importantly, easily remembered.
Very well covered
Great break down of content and easy to follow.
This course is an excellent refresher course for an officer at any stage in their career.
Every active officer should take this course. The material is a great review and will give the wording and articulation needed to help make cases stick.
Excellent and informative course
It was great up to date information!
Clear and to the point.
As always these webinars are always refreshing, valuable, and consistent with the changing times/laws as they can be. The discussion was a good reminder to all on what to do and to not do so that we don't line bad guys pockets with cash. Thank you...
This Webinar has a lot of very useful information. A good course of instruction.
