Send a text

In this episode of Justice Seekers, attorneys Natalie Stubbs and Katrina break down the constitutional rules behind some of the most important criminal procedure cases in American history. These decisions define what police can do, what your rights are, and what happens when the government crosses the line.

But this isn’t a law school lecture.

It’s a plain-language guide to the constitutional guardrails that apply when real people encounter law enforcement—from interrogations and searches to roadside traffic stops.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• When do police have to read Miranda rights?
• What does “I want a lawyer” actually do legally?
• Can officers search your car without a warrant?
• What is reasonable suspicion vs. probable cause?
• How long can a traffic stop legally last?

This episode walks you through the landmark cases that answer those questions.
