What could they be preparing for?

on case law...any place in particular that a young man in LE should be reading?

He is 2 years in on patrol and just made swat...always saying "case law" and would like to point him to places he may not be reading?

I wrote a paper on Texas and US case law for patrol officers few years ago for my department (that I update) that was later included into curriculum at the regional police academy.

There are all kinds of ways to look up case law but my best results are from google. I search a particular aspect like miranda on traffic stops, vehicle searches, vehicle inventory, etc. Sometimes (most?) I actually remember the case and google that to refresh my memory.

Many (or most) times it might lead to not only a particular case but articles from sites like FLETC (federal law enforcement academy) or similar sites. Such articles might be a few pages long but they usually list several important case laws and a brief description. I usually then use the case name to look it up myself and read it A great site if a person knows of a particular case is oyez .com.

Oyez takes a 15 page Supreme Court decision and reduces it to 2-4 short paragraphs to describe the situation and then the question(s) that the Supreme Court answered with a brief explanation why. At times I read the entire decisions from the Supreme Court so as to understand their rationale but about 95% of the time Oyes is great.

There are dedicated case law sites like caselaw4cops. net. That is a great site because if he scrolls down the homepage, it has links to specific topics like arrest, curtilage, stop and frisk, plain view doctrine, protective sweeps, etc, Click on those links and scroll down and it gives you several usually US Supreme Court case laws that deal with the topic.

Also a great site is Justia which lists multiple Supreme Court cases by topic like search and seizure, Miranda, gun rights, free speech and so on. Without searching google, a person can read caselaw4cops or Justia and find most cases. Most of the time I use google though but it usually leads me to those three sites and others.

Things that make you go…. Hmmmmm!

Coincidence. Move along…. 😎

I find it very peculiar in timing. I don’t care if I was in charge of it and it was completely on the up and up, I would have picked a different date.

It could be a diversion. Get everybody looking over here and then……

Thats about where I was with it. Just thought you may have a little more insight as the how's and why's of this type of event and timing. I'll keep an eye pointing in both directions. 😵💫

Thank you

Thanks.

I read a lot. Like really a lot…..

I still teach Arrest, Search and Seizure (voluntary as with no pay) at the police academy which you know is mostly constitutional law. I read current case law and pending cases, on occasion listen to oral arguments like in front of the Supreme Court and many of the upcoming legislative session bills submitted and follow them through the process.

Maybe oddly, I almost never watch any news programs or read any political sites. I do read or watch what other people post like on TBH and then if it seems interesting, do my own research without looking at left or right opinions.

I have a boring life after retirement.

People may not like my opinion but it isn’t plagiarized. 😎

And you do a great job of basically play by play calling of Nederland HS football games!
