HIDDEN LAWS OF THE TIME OF FERGUSON |
132 Harvard Law Review Forum 1 (October, 2018) |
Every society is really governed by hidden laws, by unspoken but profound assumptions on the part of the people, and ours is no exception. It is up to the American writer to find out what these laws and assumptions are. In a society much given to smashing taboos without thereby managing to be liberated from them, it will be no easy matter. --James... |

HOW POLICE CULTURE AFFECTS THE WAY POLICE DEPARTMENTS VIEW AND UTILIZE DEADLY FORCE POLICIES UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT |

Police are an important part of our criminal justice system. When people begin to lose faith and trust in the police, chaos inevitably erupts.

The doctrine of qualified immunity operates as an unwritten defense to civil rights lawsuits brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. It prevents plaintiffs from recovering damages for violations of their constitutional rights unless a government official violated clearly established law, which usually requires specific precedent on point.

Constitutional law is not particularly sophisticated about bias, and so it is not very good at protecting people from it. This is nowhere more evident than in the Supreme Court's jurisprudence around racial profiling. The Supreme Court has conceptualized racial profiling as something only bad police officers do; it has equated bad stops with bad... |
