summary: "The Habit Iowa Brady List is the definitive public-facing database of information about: police misconduct, State P.O.S.T. decertification, public complaints, use-of-force reports, citizen reports and more... Law teams use habit evidence to highlight that a defendant's consistent actions during specific circumstances. For example, a lawyer may argue that their client accused of assaulting a victim at a college library at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday met with a study group at 3 p.m. every Tuesday in a different location on campus. Therefore, the defendant couldn't have assaulted the victim. Unlike presumptive evidence, which considers a defendant's unfavorable behavior in the past, habit evidence is admissible in court."
