Unreasonable Expectations: A 4th Amendment Podcast

by James O. Ruane

The Fourth Amendment is having the fight of its life, and every week Unreasonable Expectations breaks down the search and seizure decisions that landed while you were in court. Host Jay Ruane, criminal defense trial lawyer and founder of The Criminal Mastermind, surveys the newest rulings from courts across the country, calls out the wins you can put to work in a case that same day, and flags the losses that could reach your pending files and reshape your case theory. No ivory tower. Plain language, real doctrine, and takeaways you can carry straight into your next suppression hearing. Built for working criminal defense lawyers, and for anyone who cares about where the line between you and the government gets drawn. New episodes every Monday.
