TMRW, IJ goes to MD's High Court to fight Baltimore's unlawful ban on food trucks operating within 300ft of brick & mortar competitors. The "ban threatened to turn food truck owners into criminals so restaurateurs would have the market all to themselves." baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…

This morning @IJ launched our latest case against an unjust car impound system. Detroit takes cars from innocent people just because they are near suspected criminal activity. No one gets charged with a crime, but the govt keeps and sells the car: youtube.com/watch?v=kxa8_J…

"Innocent until proven guilty is a bedrock American value, and yet, under Detroit’s civil forfeiture program innocence is irrelevant. It is clearly unconstitutional to force one person to pay for another person’s crime,” said IJ senior attorney @thehottot. detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…

Her ex allegedly used her car to pick up a sex worker. He was never charged with a crime — and she didn't condone anything illegal — but cops took her car, anyway. Twice. And said she'd have to pay to get it back. Now, the Institute for Justice is suing. vice.com/en_us/article/…

“When people go into a courthouse, they expect some form of justice.” Detroiters seeking justice for their cars taken by police will find anything but. The Motor City’s process of taking cars and holding them hostage for profit needs to end. youtu.be/kxa8_JOuxck

I enjoyed speaking with the #Arkansas Policy Foundation about @IJ's victory over #LittleRock's taxi monopoly. State constitutional provisions (like anti-monopoly clauses) often make all the difference! #ConLaw arkansaspolicyfoundation.org/TAXICAB-MARKET…

Federal officers need leeway to make mistakes.
But when officers violate rights with impunity and then compound the abuse with months or years of stonewalling, consequences must follow.
