Through accessible prose, carefully crafted hypotheticals, effective visualizations, and some cross-examination (for the reader), Carbado reintroduces us to the Fourth Amendment. In arresting detail, &#8220;Unreasonable&#8221; exposes how the Supreme Court has turned the Fourth Amendment against \u201cthe people\u201d\u2014and specifically, against people racialized as Black. Part of the \u201cBill of Rights,\u201d the Fourth Amendment was adopted to protect \u201cthe right of the people\u201d from police overreach. Yet over the past half-century, the Supreme Court has systematically repositioned the Fourth Amendment as a weapon of police power. Or as Carbado argues: whereas many assume that the Bill of Rights was intended to \u201cprotect and empower \u2018we the people,\u2019 [Unreasonable] contends that Fourth Amendment law overly protects and empowers \u2018we the police.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actual title is: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Precarious-Line-Police-Fourth-Amendment\/dp\/162097424X\/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1Z7ODKKH9CV8Z&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.85s9TT4-PZvq8eNDIsypev7jT9zVs_pogZ6z-xbLknlhNhdN00KEyzyDeIDlXcpwmzPPaQ2bsdTgQN7F4BzYJanzcYRmsbYkq2JAZMTI0W_TglZATmwHYctAfbPPIW7so7rCtHGtgWor_W0sEItPPvRQfVueknYvshCph7PEEqMJRCxNLZ_kPKZjxH5EVv68hbwU9TsGBMzka8KohNRhpYormJH-oiX2795-ReNTh18.FLzAWl3VTFUe8FJfF76oR8lR6xvoqoYjqGwX3lht270&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=unreasonable&amp;qid=1726260865&amp;sprefix=unreasonable+%2Caps%2C114&amp;sr=8-4\">Unreasonable: Black Lives, Police Power, and the Fourth Amendment<\/a> and it was published April 4, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Review: Jonathan P.
