Agents of SHIELD and Captain America The Winter Soldier were Constitutional joyrides. Joshua Gilliland, one of the two attorney bloggers from The Legal Geeks, will break down the legal issues from Season 1 of Agents of SHIELD and Captain America 2.
The presentation will address what is known about the legal structure of SHIELD, the lawfulness of resurrecting Agent Coulson, whether SHIELD violated the 4th Amendment with their computer searches, whether Skye committed treason for hacking into the NSA, and whether the Winter Soldier could be convicted of treason. The material will also discuss how drones can be used in law enforcement and due process issues from Agents of SHIELD.
