Short Circuit 334 | Only Mostly Dead
Manage episode 430936834 series 3549279
It’s time for Short Circuit to head for the hills. Two cases from the mountainous Tenth Circuit, one on the Fourth Amendment and another on the Bivens doctrine. First, Bob Belden of IJ saddles up for a 911 call that may have led to the wrongful arrest of a Super Bowl reveler. What is enough evidence from an anonymous tip to stop a supposedly shady suspect? Not as much as was in a parking lot full of Broncos fans. Then your host gives an update on a terrorist who has been in prison for quite some time. He seems to have a good claim against his prison guards. But does the method for bringing that claim even still exist? And whether or not it exists can the government immediately appeal when a court says it does? It’s a quantum-mechanical question.
