Beyond the Stop: Searches, Seizures, and the Hidden Truth in Police Records


Date & Time: October 3, 2025 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET | Via Zoom

In this one-hour webinar, Anjelica Hendricks will start with a fast-paced refresher on the Fourth Amendment fundamentals: stops, probable cause, warrants, and what makes them defective. Then, the webinar shifts to focus to a powerful—and often overlooked—area of advocacy: police misconduct hidden in plain sight. Discover how crucial disciplinary patterns are buried in innocuous documents like training logs and scheduling records, and learn how to craft strategic public records requests that can reveal officer behavior long before trial. Using examples from real cases and research from a forthcoming law review article, Anjelica Hendricks will explore how to integrate this information into bail arguments, preliminary hearings, suppression motions, and more.

When the misconduct isn't in the file, it's in the footnotes. Join us to learn how to uncover and use hidden patterns of officer misconduct—from records requests to defense strategy on Friday, October 3 at Noon.
