A federal district judge just declared that Flock camera systems violate the Fourth Amendment! Applying Chatrie, the court concludes that extensive camera networks engage in unlawful "indiscriminate mass surveillance." A major ruling. storage.courtlistener.com/re…
This article examines recently revived juvenile curfews, questioning what police enforcement facilitates in the Fourth Amendment realm for young people associating in groups. Thank you to @WFULawReview

Prof. @lauragabelson was interviewed on @excitedpodcast, regarding her article, “The Multidimensions of AI Chatbots as Evidence.”
“The Multidimensions of AI Chatbots as Evidence,” is forthcoming in the @UCDavisLRev .

Forgot to post this: Our article on the Good Faith Exception is out in final form in the Georgetown Law Journal!

Grateful that "Suspicion by Association" was just published by @arizlrev . I present contexts where police rely on the behavior of a person's companions to justify interventions, and argue that this is antithetical to Fourth Amendment doctrine.

Thanks to @SSRN for highlighting my essay, out in the Stanford Law Review Online. I argue that changing landscape about the suspiciousness of carrying a gun lends to overreliance on associational suspicion when justifying police interventions.
This article critiques the Fifth Circuit’s ruling in #UnitedStates v. Wilson that gun possession alone doesn’t justify a stop but upheld it due to defendant’s associations & arrest history.

Officers stop car w/man & his girlfriend. They arrest him. Having reasonable suspicion there's a gun in the car, they conduct a sweep of the car & find the gun before letting her return to it. CA10, 2-1: Sweep violated the 4A, as there was no reason to think she was dangerous.
My recent article, “Known to Police: the Revival of Juvenile Curfews”, is forthcoming in Volume 62 of Wake Forest Law Review. It examines the Fourth Amendment and carceral implications of resurgent juvenile curfews. Feedback is welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Thanks to @SSRN for sharing my article, now out in @VirginiaLawRev. I examine existing doctrine to provide a framework for thinking about emerging technology and the Fourth Amendment. I love that it came from a student question: Does probable cause always mean the same thing?
This article argues that the #USSupremeCourt implicitly considers the level of intrusion into #privacy or #liberty when assessing probable cause, but this "hidden intrusion doctrine" remains unstated & ambiguous.

I'm so grateful to the student editors at @StanLRev for quickly publishing this essay on a recent case and important tension in Fourth Amendment law.
Expanding public-carry regimes challenge Terry’s reasonable-suspicion standard. In some states, suspected gun possession alone can’t justify stops, but @ahochmanbloom warns an emerging “firearm exceptionalism” sustains racialized, hindsight-based policing. stanfordlawreview.org/online…
I've posted a draft essay, titled "The Emerging Firearms Hypocrisy of Terry," which is forthcoming in @StanLRev online. It discusses this summer's decision in U.S. v. Wilson and problematic privileging of 2A rights in 4A analysis. Comments are welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Happy to share a piece published in the @IllinoisLR, "Policing Bias Without Intent"

Felony murder convictions should not rest on underlying felonies that lack an intent requirement. On Friday, along with Professor Caitlin Glass of Boston University School of Law and @SentencingProj, I filed an amicus brief in Jewell v. Florida. macarthurjustice.org/case/rh…...
Tonight at @NUSL, our students were so fortunate to watch The Strike, and to speak with its creators and protagonist. It is a powerful documentary about resisting the use of solitary confinement in prison

"Suspicion by Association" explores four troubling policing contexts in which individuals become the subject of criminal suspicion based on the company they keep. It's forthcoming @arizlrev, and I welcome all feedback. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Thank you, @_inquest_ , for publishing this essay on the disappointing outcome in Comm. v. Gelin, and the urgent need to rethink policing reality and constitutional protection for those serving community supervision.
The right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion means nothing to the millions subject to probation—by far the most common form of criminal punishment in the U.S., writes @AHochmanBloom of @NUSL.
