A “Terry Stop” is a brief stop by police to investigate suspicious behavior, the constitutionality of which was recognized by the Supreme Court in the seminal case of “Terry v. Ohio.” A “Terry Stop” is authorized based on mere reasonable suspicion rather than the probable cause required for an actual custodial arrest.
Now the Maryland Supreme Court in a 4-5 decision has largely cut the legs out of the “Terry Stop” by ruling that if there’s any explanation for the observed conduct that’s consistent with innocence, the officer lacks the reasonable suspicion required for a “Terry Stop.”
Although the facts of this case focus on the apparently unlawful use of a cell phone while driving, the implicates for severely hampering the ability of police to reasonable investigate apparent criminal activity—including illegal migrant criminal activity—are stark.

Episode #M1179.
On November 30 a civil lawsuit was filed against the Sig Sauer firearms company in Federal court in New Hampshire. The suit is brought by no fewer than 20 plaintiffs, all with similar claims--that the company's P320 pistol was defectively designed, that this defect caused them serious injury, and that Sig Sauer should be held liable for those injuries.
Here's that filing: https://www.scribd.com/document/612413972/611657659-Sig-Sauer-Lawsuit
This suit is of particular interest to me in that I've carried a variety of Sig pistols--including for many years the P320--for personal protection. I was also for more than a decade a subject matter expert adjunct instructor at the Sig Academy on use-of-force law.
That said, my expertise is use-of-force law, and this is a civil suit--so I've invited on Attorney Dani Ahn, an experienced civil litigator, to share her expert insights into this lawsuit. Dani also has her own brand-new YouTube channel, and I urge you to take a look at that and subscribe! You can find her YouTube channel ...
In the afternoon of February 23, 2020 then-District Attorney Jackie Johnson was informed that "jogger" Ahmaud Arbery had earlier that afternoon been shot and killed by the son of her former lead investigator. This former work relationship raising a potential conflict of interest, Johnson immediately referred the case over to a DA from a different county.
Those few hours, in which Johnson made no substantive decisions related to the Arbery shooting other than the conflict referral, was the entirety of her official involvement in the handling of this matter. The Georgia Attorney General was duly advised of this conflict referral on February 27th, 2020, three days after the shooting.
Despite her conduct being cleared of wrongdoing following an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Ms. Johnson lost her next election for DA, and worse was indicted by the Georgia Attorney General on charges of violation of her oath of office (a 5-year felony) and hindering law enforcement (a misdemeanor).
The evidence for ...
This past Sunday a man decided to commit an armed robbery of clerk working in a California convenience store. When the robber fled with the stolen goods, the clerk retrieved his own gun and pursued, firing at the fleeing robber. The robber then used his own gun to shoot and kill the clerk.
Many were surprised when Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton then decided that she would not press a murder charge against the armed robber, on the grounds that the robber was acting in lawful self-defense when he killed the clerk.
Join me to discuss the legalities of this case and this DA's decision TODAY, at Noon ET!

Kim Kardashian is reportedly taking a break from taking the California Bar exam after last year’s failed attempt.
Insiders claim the “Kardashians” star, 45, skipped the February exam and has no plans to try again in July, reports TMZ.
Those looking to take the test are offered two tries per year. But, sources say the fashion mogul won’t be planning to try again until 2027.

The Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have announced plans to repeal or revise more than 30 federal gun regulations, completing a 50-year pendulum swing back to the Second Amendment's original, resulting in praise from one of the country's longest-standing gun-rights advocates.
“This is why America elected Donald Trump. Freedom. ATF has no business making up rules, that’s what Congress does. Blanch, Dhillon, and Cekada are setting the right course," NRA Board Member and retired Army Lt. Col. Willes K. Lee told Just The News after the DOJ and ATF made the announcement last week.
The shift is not just another regulatory rollback, its a culminating chapter in a half-century arc that began with the ATF’s transformation from a Treasury tax-enforcement bureau (pre-1972, when it was still mostly whiskey and tobacco-focused) into the aggressive regulatory federal agency it became after the 1968 Gun Control Act and especially after moved from ...
