About this product
Product Information
"At a time when policing in America is at a crossroads, Barry Friedman provides much-needed insight, analysis, and direction in his thoughtful new book. Unwarranted illuminates many of the often ignored issues surrounding how we police in America and highlights why reform is so urgently needed. This revealing book comes at a critically important time and has much to offer all who care about fair treatment and public safety." --Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption In June 2013, documents leaked by Edward Snowden sparked widespread debate about secret government surveillance of Americans. Just over a year later, the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, set off protests and triggered concern about militarization of law enforcement and discriminatory policing. In Unwarranted , Barry Friedman argues that these two seemingly disparate events are connected--and that the problem is not so much the policing agencies as it is the rest of us. We allow these agencies to operate in secret and to decide how to police us, rather than calling the shots ourselves. And the courts, which we depended upon to supervise policing, have let us down entirely. Unwarranted tells the stories of ordinary people whose lives were torn apart by policing--by the methods of cops on the beat and those of the FBI and NSA. Driven by technology, policing has changed dramatically. Once, cops sought out bad guys; today, increasingly militarized forces conduct wide surveillance of all of us. Friedman captures the eerie new environment in which CCTV, location tracking, and predictive policing have made suspects of us all, while proliferating SWAT teams and increased use of force have put everyone's property and lives at risk. Policing falls particularly heavily on minority communities and the poor, but as Unwarranted makes clear, the effects of policing are much broader still. Policing is everyone's problem. Police play an indispensable role in our society. But our failure to supervise them has left us all in peril. Unwarranted is a critical, timely intervention into debates about policing, a call to take responsibility for governing those who govern us.

Reviews
Praise for The Will of the People "Friedman's book admirably manages to distill more than two hundred years of constitutional history into a coherent narrative that attends both to continuity and to change. And a distressingly small number of legal academics can match his lucidity or his ability to turn a phrase." -Justin Driver, The New Republic, "Friedman's lively writing and clarity of expression enable him to make the thicket of applicable Fourth Amendment law readily understandable for general readers, helpfully illuminated by the personal stories behind the case law. At once creative and conservative, Friedman offers a timely blueprint for recovering democratic control of local and national law enforcement." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Drawing on landmark court cases, extensive history, and incisive analysis, Friedman takes a hard look at current problems and proposes astute and well-researched solutions in favor of more "democratic and constitutional" policing . . . [ Unwarranted ] is the definitive guide to contemporary policing and its necessary reforms." -- Publishers Weekly "At a time when policing in America is at a crossroads, Barry Friedman provides much-needed insight, analysis, and direction in his thoughtful new book. Unwarranted illuminates many of the often ignored issues surrounding how we police in America and highlights why reform is so urgently needed. This revealing book comes at a critically important time and has much to offer all who care about fair treatment and public safety." --Bryan Stevenson, founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption "In this thoughtful, reform-minded book, Barry Friedman shows us how advances in technology have dramatically expanded both the capabilities of the police and the means by which citizens can hold them accountable. But he also shows us how today's concerns over mass surveillance and unwarranted searches of electronic evidence are just the latest instances of problems in policing that have persisted for lack of democratic governance of the profession. Friedman's argument for real democratic accountability in policing is fresh and offers hope. Unwarranted should be a companion for any citizen who wants to move beyond tabloid news and the protest line and join the nation's police leaders in the evolution of the public profession most present in people's everyday lives." --Brandon del Pozo, Chief of Police, Burlington, Vermont. "The notoriously broad discretion that police routinely exercise in enforcing the law has long been accepted as a necessary element of the job. Unwarranted calls into question that received wisdom, and makes a stirring case for holding accountable the most powerful public servants in most people's daily lives." --David Cole, National Legal Director of the ACLU and author of No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System " Unwarranted is the taxonomy of policing this country has been waiting for. In a sweeping overview of policing problems spanning illegal police searches, warrantless stops, intrusive surveillance, and the toxic impact of race and class on such intrusions, Friedman painstakingly lays out the reasons we have--as a society--largely avoided policing the police. This is a long-overdue indictment of the ways in which our courts, legislatures, and even We the People have absolved ourselves of the responsibility of repairing our system of policing, and a call to action that reminds us that we alone can effectuate lasting, and attainable, reform." --Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Legal Correspondent, Slate "In this remarkably lucid and persuasive book, Barry Friedman forces us to confront the most difficult, uncomfortable question about policing: not what should the police do, but what do we want the police to do? With insight and passion, Unwarranted lays out a vision for truly democratic policing. A must-read." --Chris Hayes, host of All In with Chris Hayes and author of Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy
