1 hr confidence:   code of practice
Explanation:
In Engeland werkt de politie (en andere instanties) met zogeheten 'codes of practice'. Op verschillende sites (oa. op http://www.policebooks.org.uk/) kom ik 'the custody officer's companion' aan. Dit boek wordt beschreven als volgt: 2006 edition with all new law and procedure. Written for custodians from the Police, Military, private security firms & solicitors, this manual deals with detention, rights & entitlements, treatment of prisoners, questioning, review of detention, disposal & charging of prisoners, intimate searches & samples, fingerprints, DNA samples. The new 4th edition includes the latest Codes of Practice, legislation and procedure.
Dit wijkt denk ik een beetje af van wat jij bedoeld maar misschien dat ik je hiermee i.i.g. op weg kan helpen?? Succes!

4 hrs confidence: field guide (for law-abiding citizens)
Explanation:
I am totally making this up, noting this is lacking on the American market. Better, it should be "The XXX (State) Field Guide for Law-Abiding Citizens" because laws differ per state (don't forget to capitalize).
Fact book would be possible, but fact books usually refer to books with facts, like facts about HIV, or facts about immigration.
I think a field guide would better serve your purpose.
Unfortunately, fines are a gamble and seem to depend on the personality and mood of judges. You don't 'shop' for bad behavior (is it worth $200 to park here?) for example (I am exaggerating).
There are field guides for law enforcement, but that does not quite cover what you are looking for:
