Cops and defense attorneys sit on opposite sides in the courtroom. So, what happens when you put them at the same table? In today's briefing, you find out as Detective Dave welcomes Public Defender Lissa to talk about why she left the prosecutor's office to become a defender of the accused, how she does her job, and what she feels is the common ground in the fight for justice - hint, it's spelled r-e-s-p-e-c-t.

February 10, 2023 S1 Ep3: Reasonable Suspicion
Today's briefing unpacks the important case, Terry v. Ohio. The 1968 U.S. Supreme Court case that set the standards for when a police officer has reasonable suspicion to stop and frisk someone. Our detectives talk about the arrests that led to the court case, what it decided is and is not permissible, and the differences between detaining and arresting someone. Detectives Dan and Dave offer real world examples of how this works, too.
