Police Dog

Releasing, without warning, dog on woman who was not suspected of any crime, did not oppose immediate safely threat to officers or others, and who was in need of emergency medical intervention due to self-harm, constituted an unreasonable seizure in violation of Fourth Amendment; officer entitled to qualified immunity due to absence of sufficiently similar precedent.

Releasing police dog who bit plaintiff twice did not violate constitutional rights where officer had probable cause for mental health seizure and reasonable belief that plaintiff was armed and posed threat to officer.
