POLICE VEHICLE SEARCHES AND RACIAL PROFILING: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY |
91 Fordham Law Review 1 (October, 2022) |
In 1981, the U.S. Supreme Court held in New York v. Belton that police officers could lawfully search virtually anywhere in a vehicle without a warrant after the arrest of any occupant in the vehicle. Then, in 2009, the Court reversed course in Arizona v. Gant, holding that police could only engage in vehicle searches after such arrests in a... |

POLICING JIM CROW AMERICA: ENFORCERS' AGENCY AND STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS |
40 Law and History Review 91 (February, 2022) |
These districts are not usually protected by police--rather victimized and tyrannized over by them. No one who does not know can realize what tyranny a low-grade white policeman can exercise in a colored neighborhood. W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars widely agree that law enforcers came to serve white supremacy in the post-Civil War United States. More... |

69 UCLA Law Review 318 (March, 2022) |
This Comment focuses on the convergence of racialized policing and voter suppression of communities of color. While much attention has been given to the disenfranchisement of people upon felony conviction, there has been little attention paid to the policing and subsequent prosecution of people-- disproportionately Black and Latinx--for voting or... |

POLICING THE POLITY |
131 Yale Law Journal 1794 (April, 2022) |
The era of Chinese Exclusion left a legacy of race-based deportation. Yet it also had an impact that reached well beyond removal. In a seminal decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a law that required people of Chinese descent living in the United States to display a certificate of residence on demand or risk arrest, detention, and possible... |

Within a day of the election of Donald Trump in 2016, a seemingly innocuous event occurred in the small college town of Oberlin, Ohio: an Oberlin College student visited a local business, Gibson's, and attempted to use a fake ID to buy a bottle of wine, with two more bottles hidden under his shirt.

QUALIFIED IMMUNITY, SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY, AND SYSTEMIC REFORM |
71 Duke Law Journal 1701 (May, 2022) |
Qualified immunity has become a central target of the movement for police reform and racial justice since George Floyd's murder. And rightly so. Qualified immunity, which shields government officials from damages for constitutional violations even in many egregious cases, should have no place in federal law. But in critical respects, qualified... |
