C. 12858, 13421-10.) Even a mere refusal to assist an officer in apprehending or conveying an accused to prison is a misdemeanor. (G. C. 12857.) An officer has the duty to deposit property taken or found by him in the possession of an arrested person, in the place designated by the mayor. The failure to do so is a crime punishable by fine, imprisonment, for- feiture of office. (G. C. 12937.) It is also well to remem- ber that any officer who exceeds his authority may be liable to both civil action for damages, and criminal prosecution. Even when an arrest is authorized by warrant, an officer may not use the warrant as a pre- text for an" excessive use of force on the person ar- rested. Such acts will not only bring the entire auxil- iary police force into disrepute, but will subject the offender to punishment. No human has the capacity to remember every offense punishable as a crime under the laws of our state. However, there are certain common crimes ® ®- . which one should be able to recognize. For the govern- ment, offenses against persons, offenses against prop- erty and offenses against public peace and safety.
