    In this week’s episode, we delve into key concepts in Criminal Procedure, focusing on the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which safeguards individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Join us as we examine landmark cases that have shaped these principles, including Wolf v. Colorado (1949), Mapp v. Ohio (1961), United States v. Leon (1984), Hudson v. Michigan (2006), Herring v. United States (2009), State v. McElrath (2019), and State v. McLawhorn (2020).
