About this document
Supreme Court Fourth Amendment Updates by jformica is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Supreme Court overruled the mandatory requirement from Saucier that courts must address whether a constitutional violation occurred before determining if an officer has qualified immunity. Courts now have discretion on the order of analysis. This will likely result in fewer courts developing Fourth Amendment principles and fewer cases being reviewed by the Supreme Court on substantive Fourth Amendment issues due to increased avoidance of constitutional questions.
