Nine years later, South Carolina finally can end its rigged eyeglasses law. The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments in June in a case that could level the playing field. @IJ @kevinmd

Some people can run 2 miles in 8 minutes, but not Samuel Scott. Miami police accused him of crimes anyway, hinging on his ability to pull off this Olympic-level feat. The case highlights the absurdity of qualified immunity. @IJ @JustinPearsonIJ @Slate

People break the law when they dine and dash. But the government does something similar. It damages private property and leaves without paying. Melisa and Michael Robinson have fighting for compensation for 16 years in Okay, Oklahoma. @IJ @dcexaminer

Out-of-state drivers have one less thing to worry about when passing through Spartanburg County, South Carolina: For the first time in nearly 20 years, they can travel without fear of Operation Rolling Thunder. @reason @FreeRangeLawyer @IJ

Meet the new threat to school choice: The fire marshal. @m_greenberg1 @AzCapitolTimes @IJ

Police dogs just want to please their handlers. Exploiting their eagerness to violate the Fourth Amendment is sad. @FreeRangeLawyer.

Forget apples. This Teacher Appreciation Week, how about giving educators something they can actually use: Freedom. Florida did this with a 2024 law that opened the door for microschools, @reason @IJ @CupcakeLawyer

Seconds count when Philadelphia enforces parking. But once @PhilaParking writes a ticket, the slow-motion games begin. @IJ @InsideSourcesDC

Oops, they did it again. Based on shoddy policework, a SWAT team raided the wrong North Carolina home and terrorized an innocent family. Now they want to dodge accountability. @IJ @CarolinaJournal @jaredmcclain

As long as people can organize to block housing, they will. It’s the “incumbent veto.” @IJ.

Sometimes the zoning police miss the irony, like when they crack down on a fully licensed lobsterman selling lobsters on Cape Cod. @CupcakeLawyer @AriBFla @IJ @reason

People should not lose their property without due process. But a new audit shows that hearings are rare in King County, Washington, when the sheriff’s office seizes and permanently keeps cash and cars. @IJ @thecentersquare @DanAlban

Some states allow marijuana but restrict advertising. An @IJ case in Mississippi will give the Supreme Court a chance to clear the air. If selling a product is legal, then talking about it should be legal too. @reason @KatrinMarquez

It takes a village to raise a child. But parents can go to jail if they collaborate too much in New York. The state should let them form #microschools without onerous red tape. @IJ @edchoice @timesunion

Virginia Gov. Youngkin has until March 26 to sign a bill that would limit permanent punishment for rehabilitated citizens. @IJ @dcexaminer

Marine veteran Stephen Lara did nothing wrong and was never arrested. But the police took his money and tried to keep it permanently using civil forfeiture. His case shows the need for Congress to pass the FAIR Act. @IJ @DanAlban @thehill

Peter and Annica Quakenbush fought the zoning police and won in Brooks Township, Michigan. But rather than accept defeat, the government doubled down with a scheme to circumvent the courts. @KatrinMarquez @IJ @BridgeMichigan

Iowa teachers unions hate microschools. But the time has come to shift power back to parents and let them innovate. @IJ @CupcakeLawyer @DMRegister

RT @CarolinaJournal: 🤯 Insanity: North Carolina homeschool groups cannot include children from more than two families. If they do, they co….

San Clemente Councilmember Rick Loeffler sees a crisis: Homeless outreach groups are sharing food on the beach! His solution was an ordinance to criminalize kindness. @SuranjanSen @DianaKSimpson @IJ @TimesofSanDiego
