Fourth Amemdment law is both fascinating and inspiring -- as it deals with a fundamental human right, the denial of which was one of the leading causes of the American Revolution. But this law can also be extremely confusing. Thus the reason for this book: to make sense of this subject. In a single volume, Hubbart restates the content, organizational structure, and principled basis of Fourth Amendment law -- as laid forth by numerous U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the subject -- so that it is understandable and coherent. The work concentrates on U.S. Supreme Court caselaw, relies heavily on the historical background of the Fourth Amendment upon which much of this law is based, and cites to relevant treatises and leading federal and state court decisions. It also briefly discusses the theories of constitutional construction that the Court has used in reaching its decisions. A wide variety of professionals (such as judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, police legal advisors, as well as teachers and students) at the law school, undergraduate, and law enforcement levels will find this book extremely useful. "Hubbart's elegant book is the most thorough, organized and lucid study of the Fourth Amendment that I have ever read. Unlike any other work on this subject!" --Gerald Kogan, Chief Justice, Florida Supreme Court (retired) ". . . I have found Hubbart's slim and easy to read volume a necessity for any serious criminal practitioner's library. . . a fantastic resource." --The Champion, The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer's Monthly Magazine "It's easily the best single one-volume hornbook on the Fourth Amendment that has been written -- one that is certain to be useful both to practitioners and scholars alike. There is no other manageable publication that analyzes and restates current law based on the Supreme Court's more than 400 Fourth Amendment decisions." --Norman Lefstein, Professor of Law and Dean Emeritus, Indiana University School of Law--Indianapolis "I have had several occasions to use the book and have always found it helpful." --Professor Yale Kamisar, Clarence Darrow Distinguished University Professor of Law Emeritus, University of Michigan Law School

How the Supreme Court’s decision to treat unreasonable policing as reasonable under the Fourth Amendment has shortened the distance between life and death for Black people The summer of 2020 will be remembered as an unprecedented, watershed moment in the struggle for racial equality. Published on the second anniversary of the global protests over the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Unreasonable is a groundbreaking investigation of the role that the law—and the U.S. Constitution—play in the epidemic of police violence against Black people. In this crucially timely book, celebrated legal scholar Devon W. Carbado explains how the Fourth Amendment became ground zero for regulating police conduct—more important than Miranda warnings, the right to counsel, equal protection and due process. Fourth Amendment law determines when and how the police can make arrests, and it determines the precarious line between stopping Black people and killing Black people. A leading light in the critical race studies movement, Carbado looks at how that text, in the last four decades, has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to protect police officers, not African Americans; how it sanctions search and seizure as well as profiling; and how it has become, ultimately, an amendment of life and death. Accessible, radical, and essential reading, Unreasonable sheds light on a rarely understood dimension of today’s most pressing issue.
