Qualified Immunity Turns On Police & Cops Get A Taste Of Their Own Medicine!

Episode # 63
Today on Legalese we will be discussing two truly outrageous cases in which cops were granted qualified immunity.
The first is a unique example of what I call “Blue on blue violence”; a term I coined to describe incidents in which police officers are both preparator and victim.
The second is a shocking example of a citizen who did, quite literally, nothing wrong and yet found himself being followed home by a truly deranged sociopath who not only followed him all the way home, where he would proceed to assault this man right in his driveway… Only to find out this deranged sociopath turned out to be an off-duty police officer who would also be granted qualified immunity.

SCOTUS Roundup 2023 – Gun Rights & The Second Amendment

Episode #62

Today on Legalese we will be discussing three cases going before the Supreme Court this term that are centered on gun rights and the second amendment. Two are new cases that the Court just recently granted cert on last week. Garland v Cargill and National Rife Association v Vullo. The third case is revisiting a case we already discussed in my first roundup video on October 2nd 2023. This is United States v Rahimi. The Court heard oral arguments in the case on November 7th. I have a hell of a lot to say about it and we can make a fairly confident prediction about the outcome of this case.

Federal Court Smacks Down Civil Asset Forfeiture

Today on Legalese we will be discussing a recent case out of the Sixth Circuit – ‘Ingram v Wayne County’ in which the Court held that when a car is seized under civil asset forfeiture, the owner has a constitutional right to a hearing within two weeks of the seizure.
On top of that encouraging majority opinion, we also discuss the concurring opinion filed in this case by prominent conservative jurist Judge Amul Thapar that takes an even more striking and encouraging position.

First Amendment Beats Police Defendants

Episode #55

Today on Legalese we look at two recent cases that pit private citizens and the First Amendment against qualified immunity and police officers who believe themselves to be above the law.

In Jordan v Adam’s County Sheriff’s Office a man was arrested for criticizing two shitty cops who got very upset when their inflated sense of authority was questioned.

In Bailey v Iles we find a man whose only “crime” was to post a joke on Facebook. Which was considered enough of a crime by the Rapides Parish Police Department in Louisiana to send a SWAT team to arrest him and charge him with violating a state anti-terrorism law.

In both cases the Tenth Circuit and Fifth Circuit Courts of Appeals (respectively) would find in favor of these two citizens while holding the actions of these police to be so unreasonable these officers would not be allowed to cower behind claims of qualified immunity.
