This week in Washington, DC, the US Supreme Court heard the case of Heien vs. North Carolina which tests Fourth Amendment protections against unconstitutional searches. Its decision has national implications for police officers who are often immune from punishment for misinterpreting the law and illegally searching an individual. Civil liberties advocates are watching this case closely as it could cause illegal traffic stops to spike if police are not held accountable for misinterpreting the law.
