Summary

When can police legally use force — and when does that power cross the line?

In Episode 2 of Know Your Rights, we break down the constitutional rules that control police use of force. From the Fourth Amendment to major Supreme Court rulings like Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner, this episode explains how courts decide whether force is reasonable or excessive.

Understanding these legal boundaries can help you recognize when authority is being used lawfully — and when it may go too far.

No fear. No hype. Just the law, explained clearly.
