Trump Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaign
"The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee."

Will the Supreme Court Criminalize Homelessness?
"Criminalizing poverty also perpetuates cycles of homelessness and incarceration while deepening racial inequity. The rate of homelessness among people in jail is 11 times higher than in the community, and formerly incarcerated people are nearly 10 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general public. Black and Indigenous people are more likely to experience homelessness than other racial groups, and the criminalization of homelessness compounds their overrepresentation in the criminal legal system."

Lawsuit accuses Illinois of ‘dragnet surveillance’ with license plate readers
"The Chicago area cameras have logged more than 200 million license plates a year. If a car with a license plate is registered on a law enforcement “hot list,” police are automatically notified. State Police began installing the cameras in 2022 in an effort to crack down on shootings along Chicago expressways. Since then, there have been 428 automated license plate readers installed in Cook, St. Claire, Champgain, and Morgan counties. In 2024, ISP says it plans to install more in Macon, Madison, Peoria, Bureau, Lake and Winnebago, with more coming to Boone, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Henry, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, McHenry, Rock Island, Sangamon and Will counties."

The Age of the Drone Police Is Here
"As police departments look to expand their use of unmanned aerial aircraft, no agency has embraced the technology quite like the Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD). A model for police departments around the United States, “some police officers joke that visiting the Chula Vista Police Department is like visiting Mecca,” says Jay Stanley, author of a 2023 American Civil Liberties Union report on police use of drones. Despite the police promoting the benefits of the DFR program, residents who encounter the technology day-to-day report feeling constantly watched. Some say they are afraid to spend time in their backyards; they fear that the machines are following them down the street, spying on them while they use the public pool or change their clothes. One resident says that he was so worried that the drones were harassing him that he went to the emergency room for severe depression and exhaustion."

At a recent Homeland Security Committee hearing in D.C., the issue of privacy and drones was addressed, asking the question: Does this technology make it easier for civilians to be spied on by the government? "I think all of us here today appreciate the benefits of drone tech, especially in emergent situations and I think we can also agree that this technology should be deployed in a manner that protects individuals' privacy, civil rights and liberties," said Rep. Lou Correa at the hearing.

The Most Ridiculous, Right-Wing Supreme Court That Dark Money Could Buy

"Trump’s judicial adviser, Leonard Leo, who helped select three Supreme Court justices, can take pride in his work. His network, which recently received a historic $1.6 billion infusion, spent millions to confirm those justices, and works to influence both the justices’ caseload and their decisions. Leo recently marveled at his work — and the opportunity at hand. Yes, the deck is stacked. Right-wing extremists can impose their ideological and religious views on the rest of us — at will. The justices have their lifetime appointments, and a lucrative reward system: Benefactors provide them with private jet rides and superyacht trips, buy their homes, supply them with teaching side hustles, and occasionally even steer consulting payments to their spouses. The notion of accountability is a foreign one; the justices can fly flags at their homes associated with efforts to overturn the 2020 election and Christian nationalism. Their spouses can try to overturn elections. Americans are losing faith in the Supreme Court, but it doesn’t matter. The justices have hard power — no one is going to stop them."

Appeals court: Windsor cops can be sued for conducting a "felony" stop on an Army Officer over a temporary license plate
When Windsor police officer Daniel Crocker stepped out of his patrol vehicle, he had decided to conduct a “felony” or “high-risk” traffic stop. This means that Crocker immediately drew his service pistol and pointed it at Caron Nazario’s vehicle. Crocker admits that he had not witnessed a felony offense, but only “had suspicions” that a felony was occurring because an apparently new vehicle without a rear plate may be a stolen vehicle. Crocker also believed he had to prepare for the possibility that there were other people in the vehicle, or that the driver was preparing an attempt to “assassinate” him. In the relevant camera footage, Nazario’s temporary rear license plate can be seen taped to the inside of his vehicle. Crocker also admitted that he saw the temporary license plate when he approached Nazario’s vehicle.

Appeals court: NYPD cops cannot arrest someone for refusing to let them enter their home without a warrant

"Larry Thompson was arrested for obstructing governmental administration (“OGA”), in violation of New York Penal Law §195.05, and resisting arrest, in violation of New York Penal Law §205.30. The next day, NYPD officer Pagiel Clark swore out a criminal complaint making factual allegations about the events that occurred on January 15, 2014, and formally charging Thompson with OGA and resisting arrest. As a result, Thompson was detained for two days until his arraignment, at which time he was released on his own recognizance. After arraignment, Thompson made two additional court appearances before his criminal case was dismissed."
