ABSTRACT This is a line-by-line analysis of the second verse of 99 Problems by Jay-Z, from the perspective of a criminal procedure professor. It’s intended as a resource for law students and teachers, and for anyone who’s interested in what pop culture gets right about criminal justice, and what it gets wrong.
Fascinating and entertaining read. Also.... great song. I learned a few things while reading this, among them: There was a video post a while back here on Hubski of a man refusing to allow his car to be searched at a road block. It was brilliant. I wish I could find it. cliffelam, I think you posted it?? [edit] I FOUND IT sorry for the unnecessary shout out cliffelam.We’ll see how smart you are when the K-9s come . . . A sniff by a drugsniffing dog is not a “search,” for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.77 Dog sniffs are “sui generis,” the Court has held—they’re unique in that they don’t reveal any information about the contents of the object sniffed except the presence of contraband, as to which you have no privacy right.78 Thus, if the police have a dog ready to sniff your car when they pull you over for a traffic violation, you have no basis for objecting to the sniff.
-Good to know.
It is. I fell down a worm hole of him last night and even watched a good 10 minutes of a trial in which he is suing the Border Patrol for assault etc. He's apparently a Baptist minister..?
