We also tune in a report about the Mar 19, 2013 House Judiciary subcommittee meeting about updating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA). Rep.

The Google representative explains four different ways, to no avail. This report tunes in the exchange. Also, excerpts from the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee today held a hearing titled, "Threats from Space: A Review of U.S. Government Efforts to Track and Mitigate Asteroids and Meteors."

10 a.m.: Law and Disorder: The Stop and Frisk Trial Here on Law and Disorder, we've been covering the stop and frisk case known as Floyd vs. City of New York and the New York Police Department. This is a federal class action lawsuit challenging the New York City Police Departments' practice of stopping and frisking hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers each year. Some five million within the last few years. The high majority of which are Latino and African American. It's taken the Center for Constitutional Rights along with its allies united with a group called Communities United for Police Reform many years to bring this case to trial. It's an historic moment for challenging these practices in New York and a precedent that will hopefully lead to ending this practice, not only here in New York but throughout the country. The trial began last week in federal court in Manhattan. It will last some four to six weeks.
