On State Search and Seizure
I’ve been writing a series of posts on state constitutional search and seizure law for the Brennan Center’s State Court Report; anyone interested in the topic might wish to check them out. So far, they are three:
The Curious Case of Oklahoma Search and Seizure
States in ‘Lockstep’ with the Fourth Amendment May Not Be Locked
The Search and Seizure Law of State Constitutions
Having talked of diverging states, lockstep states, and the unique Oklahoma superposition of both, perhaps it makes the most sense simply to tackle each state one at a time in order to explicate its approach. Or, perhaps it would be better to try and categorize the lot of them, as I did in some of my first work many years back. Any suggestions—including regarding a particularly interesting state jurisprudence—would be most welcome!
