Jones v. Chandrasuwan

STANLEY JONES v. LANNA CHANDRASUWAN; BRIAN HOLBROOK
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Floyd, Apr. 28, 2016,
Probation Arrest – “probation officers must have reasonable suspicion before seeking the arrest of a probationer for allegedly violating conditions of his probation”


Qualified Immunity – Determination whether qualified immunity is appropriate is a 2-step inquiry. First, there must b a violation of a constitutional right. Second, the court must consider whether the right at issue was “clearly established” at the time of the alleged misconduct.

Probation Arrest – Reasonable suspicion in the arrest context is present when there is a sufficiently high probability that a probationer has violated the terms of his probation to make the intrusion on the individual’s privacy interest reasonable.
