What this webinar will cover: 

• Supreme Court cases from the 2021-22 term that decided what is a favorable determination for malicious prosecution, ruled that the failure to give Miranda warnings is not actionable under § 1983, declined to extend Bivens to an action against a border patrol agent, and denied qualified immunity in “obvious” cases.
• Guidelines for use of non-deadly force against actively resisting, fighting subjects and use of force during demonstrations.
• Use of deadly force against subjects with firearms and EDPs with knives, chokeholds and positional asphyxia, rules on shooting at vehicles, and the debate over vehicular and foot pursuits.
• Restrictions on no-knock warrants after Breonna Taylor.
• Evidentiary use of police general orders, model policies, and best practices on the “objective reasonableness” standard. Should they be part of the qualified immunity entitlement?
• Mastering damages, especially in death cases
• All this, plus, links to resources for the practitioner.
