I have just read chapters 5-8 in Criminal Evidence by Robert m. Donley, copyright 2018 by Pearson Education Inc.

I have read the following events below and was asked to analyze the actions of Florence for lawfulness. (Which I have but would like to see how my answer measures up to your response.)

• Florence, a police officer, arrested Joe for robbing a liquor store. As she handcuffed Joe, he said, "I didn't do this! The person working at the store pointed at me and said I was the robber, but the real robber ran away. He looked a lot like me. But it isn't me, I swear! I was just walking down the street when the robbery happened!"
• Florence read Joe his Miranda rights.
• Florence drove Joe to the jail to be booked, but the trip took 2 hours because of heavy traffic. Joe fell asleep in the backseat of the car, and then woke up as they were almost to the station.
• "You had a nice nap," Florence said. Joe asked, "Where am I?" Florence laughed, "Seriously? You don't know?" Joe said, "All I know is that my next door neighbor is the one who should be in the back of a police car. She sells heroin but no one ever suspects it, because she seems so innocent."
• At the station, the real robber had already been caught, so Joe was released.
• Based on Joe's statement, Florence obtained a warrant to search his neighbor's home, found heroin, and arrested his neighbor.

I can't use any outside resources, only my textbook and the attached article called "Best evidence rule" by Cornell Law School. please indicate any pages you find in the textbook that you refer to.
