: Fourth AmendmentBeing Tasered is a seizure
By John Wesley Hall, Jr. (all)
Being Tasered is a seizure. Wilson v. City of Lafayette, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72384 (D. Colo. September 10, 2008).* Court finds that defendant's limited understanding of English was not an impediment to his consenting to a search of his vehicle. His actions showed he understood. United States v. Mendez, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72393 (W.D. N.C. August 25, 2008).* Officers' dealing with a meth lab and their belief immediate action was required entitled them to qualified immunity. Minton v. Shultz, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 72471 (E.D. Tenn. September 23, 2008).*
