Government officials are not allowed to pursue personal vendettas or retaliate against people for criticizing their policies. But that is precisely what is happening in the town of Parksley on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, where out-of-control bureaucrats have done everything in their power to target and eliminate the town’s first—and only—food truck simply because they dislike its owners and the fact that they dared to work with the Institute for Justice to call for the repeal of the town’s unconstitutional food truck ban. https://lnkd.in/eqWiZwRN

Melissa Brown made some mistakes during her teens and twenties. For years she struggled with addiction but, after a conviction for robbery in 2002, she turned her life around and became a state-certified counselor to help others suffering from addiction. In 2018, Melissa found out she’s banned from working with patients under Virginia law. Melissa still wants to help others overcome addiction. Her firsthand experience makes her particularly well-suited to guide others through recovery. https://lnkd.in/ewx8-isf

My Institute for Justice colleagues Kirby Thomas West and Ben Field visited Ben's old stomping grounds of Hogan Lovells yesterday for a special Short Circuit podcast with Hogan appellate attorneys Sean Marotta and Danielle Desaulniers Stempel. Ben guest-hosted brilliantly and the panelists entertained a room full of legal interns with tales of silencers, shipping, and speech. Thanks to the folks at Hogan for teaming up with us! https://lnkd.in/gF8E69iD

An innocent woman whose McKinney, Texas home was destroyed by a SWAT team in 2020 has asked the Supreme Court to hear her case seeking compensation for the damage. Vicki Baker, represented by IJ, is petitioning the High Court after an appeals court panel overturned a lower court’s ruling that held she was entitled to nearly $60,000 for the destruction police caused while pursuing a fugitive.

After Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth found hidden cameras on their property, they sued the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for violating their rights under the state constitution.
