Eugene Volokh smashes the Florida Attorney General Office's misuse of statistics in a case that involved unlicensed concealed carry of a firearm. And, Volokh does it with style, too. Heh, heh, heh.
Essentially, the AG's brief said that since only a small percentage of people have CC permits, then the vast percentage of CC must be illegal, therefore justifying a stop-and-frisk. Volokh totally dissassembles the misuse of statistics, and neatly uses the AG's own logic on the AG's office by saying there was a 99% chance the brief writer was not licensed to practice law. Oh, that was good.
The blog has a link to the AG's brief, too. Florida readers will find tons of case cites in the brief, a fast, easy source for Florida case law.
Please click on the link and enjoy Eugene Volokh as he shreds the AG's logic.
