Suicide By Cop?

December 22, 2015 by

Fourth Amendment rights and excessive force

When police with an arrest warrant informed a man he was under arrest, the man sped away, leading police on an 85 to 110 mile-per-hour chase. Twice the man telephoned the police dispatcher to demand the police stop chasing him, telling the dispatcher he was armed and would shoot. Other officers set up spikes at places they thought the man’s car would reach. However, one officer devised a plan to shoot at the man’s car to force the car to stop.

Filed Under: Fourth Amendment Law News, Government Law News, Law Enforcement Law News, Legal News, U.S. Supreme Court Tagged With: 136 S.Ct. 305, 193 L.Ed.2d 255, 25 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. S. 555
