K pop can be traced to Korea’s national anthem which is a riff on auld Lang syne. Learned it @LincolnCenter #kfactor So many questions about my heritage.

@CCRB_NYC Thanks for having me! And I learned a lot about NYC traffic enforcers. they are civilians! After traffic violators started throwing things at them, they wore uniforms that make them look like cops, but they're not--a fascinating echo of the past.

SCOTUS's double jeopardy case Gamble began with a traffic stop for broken lights, cop smelled weed, justifying car search. So many cases begin like this. Minor traffic violations are context to much of our con crim law, even if the issue isn't about cars.

Before the mass adoption of the car, most communities barely had a police force and citizens shared responsibility for enforcing laws. Then the car changed everything.

There's a history to this. When cars first appeared on roads, traffic violations were enforced like any other crime, starting w/ arrest. Tickets were invented to streamline the process. But also https://t.co/zSC1OT3Quc

@OrinKerr Thanks for reading! Took me years to figure this out. 2nd most surprising find for me was aclu argued the “most fundamental right” was right to be arrested.

@minjinlee11 @BarackObama How wonderful! Pachinko’s first sentence is one of the most stunning, thought-provoking openers I’ve read. “History has failed us, but no matter.”
