🚨 New Case Alert 🚨 There was no reason to demolish Eric Arnold’s house. He was actively renovating it but the yard was neat, the exterior was clean, the house was locked up, and, most importantly, it was in a vastly improved state of repair compared to when he purchased it. But the county demolished it anyway as part of its aggressive blight fight. https://lnkd.in/egAAWZHc

Through strategic litigation, training, communication, activism and research, the Institute for Justice advances a rule of law under which individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members of society.

👏 Good news! After almost 3 years, IJ and the city of Wilmington have finally reached an agreement that reforms predatory impound practices. In September 2021, Ameera Shaheed and Earl Dickerson teamed up with IJ to sue after their legally-parked vehicles were towed, impounded, and scrapped “I’m really proud of the work everyone put in and the system we helped create,” said IJ Attorney Will Aronin. “Our goal is to make it so nobody loses their car and we were able to craft a new system that has strong protections to keep that from happening."

Institute for Justice's upcoming Legal Intensive is a great opportunity for liberty-loving law students (especially those on the West Coast). At our Legal Intensives, law students get to learn about public interest law versus private practice, litigation strategies, how to develop a case from beginning to end, and more from IJ attorneys. And this one is particularly cool because it is themed on #FirstAmendment retaliation with Anya Bidwell--the IJ attorney that recently argued and won #GonzalezvTrevino before the Supreme Court and co-leads IJ's Project on Immunity and Accountability.

On a typical day, police officers pull over more than 50,000 drivers. Traffic stops can lead to searches, arrests, and worse. Yet they seldom involve a warrant. So how did vehicles become Fourth-Amendment-free zones? https://lnkd.in/eE8TF7Nr

"For at least several years, police have pulled packages from conveyor belts, run K-9s over them, gotten warrants to open the parcels, and seized money when they find it. Prosecutors for Marion County then file civil forfeiture cases to keep the money. Property owners find themselves fighting for their cash in a court that could be hundreds or thousands of miles away from home." Read more from Andrew Wimer: https://lnkd.in/ecF3Bd8V
