Race and recorded calls

The Supreme Court is considering whether race can influence the Fourth Amendment's 'free to leave' test for police seizures in United States v. Carter. Donte Carter was convicted after officers found a stolen gun during a police encounter, but the District of Columbia Court of Appeals vacated his convictions, citing racial perceptions affecting the seizure determination. The case involves challenges to judicially attributed assumptions about racial distrust of law enforcement.
