using Florida v. Jardines, an American citizen has extra protections when inside their home...............those police did not have an arrest warrant. The verbal exchange of wanting to get Dr. Lanis to step out on the porch was to provide legal cover to arrest him. Otherwise, without a warrant, the police had no legal authority to enter, or breach, the home of the doctor. so, the rookie cop reaching inside to grab the Drs. arm was a 4th Amendment violation
those officers had no arrest warrant. explain how that is legitimate, given that federal courts have said that a warrant is required to enter a citizens home to arrest
so, in your mind, when should government agents be required to abide by the law and when they should be given autonomy to act without any lawful guidance?????
if they err they should be prosecuted.
I've tried to tell YOU 4 times, that when you provide numerous defenses for actions of government while maintaining that civilians should know every aspect of law and behave accordingly, you support a system of lawlessness.
I disagree that you believe in the Constitution. Do you believe that the founding fathers would have endorsed qualified immunity?
If the officers had an arrest warrant would that change your view?
They are supposed to identify that they have an arrest warrant. Fl v. Jardines stipulated that if officers have a warrant, 4th Amendment protections are limited. Given the body cam video of the officers asking the Dr to step out instead of them immediately stepping in demonstrates that they did not have an arrest warrant.
What is the point of this thread?
Officers shoot, kill armed doctor in new body cam video from St. Louis County police
"When officers attempted to take him into custody, Mr. Lanis physically resisted his arrest and displayed a handgun," said one police lieutenant.www.ksdk.com
jurist thinking caps on.....lets find out who's a statist, cop loving, slave, or who believes in freedom and the US Constitution
They had a warrant for his arrest. Why are you defending this man?
to identify who loves big government and who loves freedom
what proof do you have that they had a warrant? Because the second post youtube video says that they did not have a warrant.
absolutely.
I'd love to know. This is a bizarre thread, even for SmarterthanYou. The cops didn't break any laws. Lanis resisted arrest and pulled a gun on them. They tried to subdue him. Then they shot him. I am honestly mystified as to what this thread is supposed to be about.
