More dumbing down of our society and ultimately the justice system.

Bodes not well.

More dumbing down of our society and ultimately the justice system. Bodes not well.

Though the titles are humorous, looking through a couple of the articles (with their very numerous court citations) show the legal issues associated with this cops vs. drug crooks TV series are very real, complex and applicable to criminal lawyers and their clients. For example, a warrantless search in NM is limited not only by the US constitution but by stricter provisions of the state constitution. It would be wise to have a lawyer who is aware of the differences and not rely wholly on the Federal Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

These articles, though seemingly attractive and lightweight on the surface, are well written with numerous references. As a teaching tool, they provide students with insight into the nuances of the law and require them to be capable of providing legal advice no matter which side of the law their clients find themselves on.
