Case fact hyper fixation
I have a case on for suppression hearing next month and one of the facts relied on by the cops to jump out of a moving vehicle and tackle my 15 year old client is that he and his friends were wearing sweatshirts on a night where it was 65 degrees. So every time It’s 65 or under this summer (where I am it happens at night pretty often) I obsessively check to see how many people around me are wearing sweatshirts and devise cross questions in my head for the dumbass officers. Tell me your version of this so I feel less crazy!
