Williams v. Aguirre

This Court uses ‘malicious prosecution’ as only ‘a shorthand way of describing’ certain claims of unlawful seizure under the Fourth Amendment”; “claims of malicious prosecution are not subject to the any-crime rule, which insulates officers from false-arrest claims so long as probable cause existed for some crime, even if it was not the crime the officer thought or said had occurred”; thus even though officers had probable cause to arrest plaintiff for carrying a concealed firearm without a permit, he had a valid claim for malicious prosecution which resulted in pretrial detention on the charge of attempted murder, based on the allegation that officers fabricated their claim that he pointed a gun at them.
