I post "All the Wrong Questions (Part 3) – Normative Opacity in the Age of Strong AI."

As we achieve more intelligent machines… are there things about criminal justice that we ought to refuse to allow anyone to learn?

Melanie Reid posts "I'd rather read and write than exercise."

Imagine the surprise of my 2Ls in my criminal procedure course that their professor would be arriving 15 minutes early before class and doing a full body workout... All were invited to join.

CrimProf Blog: I'd rather read and write than exercise
It is actually possible to exercise in front of the classroom (and look forward to it).

I post "In Defense of Pardons."

Not only are pardons an important lever of mercy in our current, woefully non-role-reversible systems of criminal justice, but, given the human tendency to anger, they might be a critical mercy lever even in a robust system.

I post on "Let’s Be Reasonable About Geofence Warrants (Part 4) – Ohio v. Diaw"

The Ohio Supreme Court reasonably holds a person retains no reasonable expectation of privacy in a single location datum conveyed to a third party.

I post on "Martin v US (Somewhat) Cleans Up Policing Liability Under the FTCA."

Unanimously better on the law enforcement proviso and supremacy is good improvement, even with work remaining on ‘discretionary function.’

I post on "Let’s Be Reasonable About Geofence Warrants (Part 3) – New Jersey v. Van Salter."

A divided New Jersey Superior Court appellate panel does good work, but is (understandably) too fixated on the single suspicion standard of probable cause.
