Police Discretion And Traffic Enforcement: A Government Of Men, Illya Lichtenberg
Cleveland State Law Review
Police across the nation have long been accused of using the broad discretion afforded to them in traffic enforcement as a pretext for criminal investigation. Despite this widely held belief, there is little evidence to suggest that courts have put forth any effort, or have even considered remedying or reducing the wide spread abuse of police discretion in traffic stops, with the exception of racial profiling. This Article addresses the apparent gap in the legal and social science literature concerning the unequal enforcement of traffic laws. How extensive do the police abuse the discretionary powers they are afforded in enforcing ...

Boilerplate And Economic Power In Auto-Manufacturing Contracts, Omri Ben-Shahar, James J. White
Book Chapters
This chapter examines the boilerplate contracts used by auto makers to procure parts from suppliers. It identifies drafting and negotiation techniques that are used to secure advantageous terms. It also explores some prominent specific arrangements as evidence that firms with bargaining power are exploiting their position to dictate self-serving but inefficient terms. Finally, it shows how standard contractual clauses solve the problem of ex-post hold-up by suppliers.

Heart Attacks As A Defense In Negligence Actions, Jerry B. Kraig
Cleveland State Law Review
The general rule in the United States today is that an unforeseen heart attack which leads to loss of consciousness, or to inability to maintain control of a motor vehicle, is not negligence. When an operator of an automobile is suddenly stricken by a heart attack, and as a consequence there is an injury to a person or damage to property, a defense based upon the fact of a heart attack will preclude recovery by an injured plaintiff.

Safe To Drive? Police Powers Of Search And Seizure In The Vehicular Context, Mark Rucci
Honors College
Since their creation, automobiles have become a central facet of the American culture and psyche. As status symbols and modes of transportation their importance cannot be overstated. Americans love their cars, and the average citizen believes that he or she has legitimate privacy interests in his or her vehicle. But is this the case? For decades, The Court has struggled to balance 4th Amendment privacy rights with effective police procedure, and has thus handed down dozens of rulings on the topic, many of which often seem disparate and contradictory. In the face of such confusion, the Court’s answer has ...

Interference With Land Access By Parked Vehicles, Janet Eterovich
Cleveland State Law Review
One of the most important rights of the motorist is his right (some say privilege) to park on the street and highway. This right is very limited, however. It is restricted by the traffic regulations and nuisance statutes enacted and enforced in the various states under their police power to protect the health, safety and general welfare of their citizens. Those most interested in the motorist's right to park are other motorists and landowners whose property abuts on the highways. The rights and remedies of these parties determine the scope of this review.

Negligent Parking Of Automobiles, James G. Young
Cleveland State Law Review
Liability for an accident involving both a moving vehicle and a stationary one is most commonly imputed to the moving vehicle. However, numerous cases involving various fact situations have held otherwise. It is the object of this note to review the reasoning of these decisions.
