Missoulian: Court: Traffic stop OK
despite mistake of law
Heien v. North Carolina
“Following a suspicious vehicle, Sergeant Matt Darisse noticed that only one of the vehicle’s brake lights was working and pulled the driver over. While issuing a warning tick et for the broken brake light, Darisse became suspicious of the actions of the two occupants and their answers to his questions. Petitioner Nicholas Brady Heien, the car’s owner, gave Darisse consent to search the vehicle. Darisse found cocaine, and Heien was arrested and charged with attempted trafficking. The trial court denied Heien’s motion to suppress the seized evidence on Fourth Amendment grounds, concluding that the vehicle’s faulty brake light gave Darisse reasonable suspicion to initiate the stop.”

Missoulian: Court rules for energy
firm in class-action suit
Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co. v. Owens
“This Court concludes that no
jurisdictional barrier impedes settlement of the question presented: whether
evidence supporting the amount in controversy must be included in a notice of
removal. The case was “in” the Tenth Circuit because of Dart’s application for leave
to appeal, and the Court has jurisdiction to review what the Court of Appeals
did with that application.”

“This paper uses
annual variation in temperature and precipitation over the past 50 years to
examine the impact of climatic changes on economic activity throughout the
world. We find three primary results. First, higher temperatures
substantially reduce economic growth in poor countries but have little effect
in rich countries. Second, higher temperatures appear to reduce growth rates
in poor countries, rather than just the level of output. Third, higher
temperatures have wide-ranging effects in poor nations, reducing agricultural
output, industrial output, and aggregate investment, and increasing political
instability. Analysis of decade or longer climate shifts also shows
substantial negative effects on growth in poor countries. Should future
impacts of climate change mirror these historical effects, the negative
impact on poor countries may be substantial.”
