Ok, well I have a 3-page essay due for my Fundementals of Criminal Justice, basically we have to try to convince the professor of some law that I think should be changed, I'd like to ask anyone if you know any interesting laws that are odd or unfair and should be changed..USA laws btw
Well, if the police believe that there's evidence of a crime in your car, they can search without your consent. I think that should be changed. It's weird that they can't search you, but they can search your car because you can get away, which doesn't make sense because you can get away with whatever's on you.

They can totally search you in the same way. The reason more cars are searched than people is that police often only interact with people in their cars during a traffic stop and more stuff is kept in your car than on your person, including evidence of crimes.
As for a topic, personally I find the tax system to be obtuse. Though it may be a broad topic.
You could always take on the things that get people riled up one way or another-
1. Bans on smoking (cigarettes)- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans_in_the_United_States
2. Change of drinking age (why can I die for my country at 18, but can't drink for it until 21 bla bla bla).
3. Prayer in public schools.
4. Affirmative Action.
I've written papers about a couple of these issues, and I can say with certainty that it's really easy to get content on these issues supporting either side.

Searching isn't the same as frisking. They can't just suspect you of having drugs and reach into your pocket.

Ooh, riling up people. I can think of a few things:
1. Abortion
2. Gay marriage rights
3. Age of consent laws
4. Teaching intelligent design alongside evolution
5. Assisted suicide

You're correct, searching and frisking are entirely different (and have different standards that apply to when it is allowed).
Nonetheless, an officer can search you if she has probable cause, just like a car. The only difference really is frequency, since traffic stops are the majority of citizens interactions with officers. Also, there are consensual searches that do not require probable cause. Officers usually ask to search a vehicle, not demand based upon probable cause, and are given permission.
As for a topic, how about the modern approach to gun control. Each state differs on types of guns allowed, but bans have been recently overturned.
Easy, Marijuana laws. I could go on for days about all the faults in the current system of prohibition.
Oh boy, I bet his teacher will be glad to hear all about OPs creative choice.

For chicken chompers in Gainesville, Georgia, “finger-lickin’” is not a suggestion - it is mandatory. Thanks to a 1961 law added to the city code as a publicity stunt, it is illegal to eat fried chicken in “the poultry capital of the world” with anything other than your fingers. A tourist was “arrested” for such a chicken-forking violation in 2009.

I am petitioning to get players to stop complaining about mythic rarity. Sig this to join the cause.

Time to rethink my home business, damned gub'ment.
Seat belt laws get people in a tissy. Their use is common sense, but should you be penalized by law if you abstain?
