Plaintiff overcame qualified immunity in his claim that he was standing in a tree showing his hands when officers were trying to arrest him, having thrown down his rifle. They gave him conflicting orders, and Tasered him and he fell from the tree. Their claim that he could have jumped on them from the tree to grab the gun was dubious at best. Harper v. Perkins, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 4064 (11th Cir. February 29, 2012) (unpublished).*

Defendant’s racial motivation for a stop failed here because, after the stop ended and he was told he was free to leave, he continued to talk to the officer and ultimately consented. United States v. Curry, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25803 (D. Neb. February 29, 2012).*

Defendant was arrested at home in her pajamas. She was allowed to reenter to get dressed, but officers were allowed to go in with her for self-protection, and a sawed off shotgun was seen inside leaning against the wall. This observation was lawful. [If she didn’t want them to see the gun, she should not have asked to go back inside. This is just like Christman.] United States v. Reid, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24523 (E.D. Mo. February 7, 2012):

When the deputies arrested Graham at 712 Thrush, she was dressed in her pajamas. Following the arrest and a brief discussion, the deputies allowed Graham to reenter 712 Thrush to change her clothes. Although the deputies had no specific reason to suspect danger to them or that Graham might attempt to escape, the deputies were entitled to enter the residence immediately before or with Graham and to remain with her as she changed clothes. Debuse, 289 F.3d at 1074-75 (holding that where the defendant "chose to reenter his house simply for his own convenience[,] [a]llowing reentry on the condition that the officers accompany him was reasonable"); ....
