Haynes v. Minnehan

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Wed, 10/26/2022 - 10:22

Police officers stopped plaintiff for suspected involvement in drug deal, plaintiff was polite and cooperative but could not find driver’s license although he had three other cards bearing his name, officers handcuffed him and kept cuffs on after a clean frisk and consensual pocket search, officers did not perceive plaintiff as dangerous and had no reason to; handcuffing for five minutes absent any concern for safety was not reasonably related to circumstances which justified the stop and violated clearly established Fourth Amendment rights.
