Trey’s Table Episode 447 The Fourth Amendment and Race

Real Talk, Deep History: Race and the Fourth Amendment 📜⚖️ What does "reasonableness" look like under the law? For decades, courts applied an objective standard that completely ignored a person's identity. But this week, a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision in Dante Carter's case changed everything. Our latest episode of Trey’s Table dives deep into the powerful intersection of constitutional law, race, and the police. We break down Carter's initial arrest, the legal battle over his motion to suppress evidence, and the Trump Justice Department's attempt to overturn his victory. Most importantly, we celebrate a massive win for civil rights: the Supreme Court’s denial to review the case means the ruling stands. The law must finally recognize that a person's race profoundly shapes their interactions with law enforcement.
