Examples

“In this situation, the agent’s lack of knowledge is diagnosed as a violation of the modalized tracking condition, which is relativized to the content-specific method of belief formation employed.”
“William Davis Jr. admitted he had been drinking and driving, but he said he shouldn’t have been caught. Even though police had issued a BOLO or “be on the lookout” for his car and an officer testified Davis made several traffic violations, he said there wasn’t enough probable cause for the initial traffic stop that turned into a DUI. […] Davis said he should not have been stopped because the BOLO for his car was not checked out before he was pulled over, but Justice Cornelia Clark pointed out that shouldn’t matter.”
“Nahh saying that to bro is actually a violation 💀”
