In 2008, after Joe's Law was published, Arpaio said "One thing I don’t do is lie. I was very careful writing this book. I wrote it like I was testifying in court." In a 2009 deposition in the Melendres vs. Arpaio racial-profiling lawsuit, when asked if Joe's Law reflected his opinions, Arpaio answered "I am not sure...To the best of my knowledge, I haven't reviewed the book recently. In fact, I haven't even read the book...totally." In later trial testimony in the case, Arpaio repudiated several passages in the book, claiming that they were written by his co-author.
