Jackson v. City of Atlanta

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 09/03/2024 - 14:56

Arresting plaintiff for moving a barricade to exit a private parking lot violated her rights—no probable cause because law did not prohibit her from removing barricade and no signs prohibited its removal; court folds excessive forest claim into illegal seizure of the person claim, because if an officer does not have the right to make an arrest, he does not have the right to use any degree of force in making that arrest.
