CBPO Legal Authority
Officers · immigration, customs baggage, Miranda, use-of-force case law
⚖️ Supreme Court case law
Graham v. Connor
490 U.S. 386 (1989)
Force judged by objective reasonableness of an officer on scene.
Holding: Every use-of-force claim during an arrest, stop, or other seizure is judged under the Fourth Amendment's objective reasonableness standard.
Severity of
the crimeLevel of
resistanceLevel of
threat
the crimeLevel of
resistanceLevel of
threat
- Judged from a reasonable officer on the scene, not 20/20 hindsight.
- Accounts for split-second judgments in tense, uncertain, rapidly evolving situations.
- Officer's intent doesn't matter. Good intentions don't save excessive force, and bad intentions don't make reasonable force unlawful.
- Resistance includes actively resisting or fleeing. Threat means an immediate threat to officers or others.
On shift: articulate all three factors in your report.

Tennessee v. Garner
471 U.S. 1 (1985)
Deadly force on a fleeing suspect only for a serious threat.
Holding: Deadly force to stop a fleeing suspect is a Fourth Amendment seizure. It is unconstitutional against an apparently unarmed, non-dangerous suspect.
- Deadly force may be used to prevent escape only with probable cause that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to officers or others.
- For example: the suspect threatened you with a weapon, or committed a crime involving infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical harm.
- Must be necessary to prevent escape. Give a warning where feasible.
- Struck down the old "fleeing felon" rule: being a felony suspect alone is not enough.
On shift: flight alone ≠ deadly force.

City of Canton v. Harris
489 U.S. 378 (1989)
Agency liable for failure to train showing deliberate indifference.
Holding: A city or agency can be liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for failure to train, but only when that failure shows deliberate indifference to people's rights.
- Deliberate indifference: the need for more or different training is obvious and likely to result in rights violations.
- Causation: the training deficiency must actually cause the injury.
- Not enough: one poorly trained officer, an occasional mistake, or "better training would have helped."
- Case arose from a detainee denied medical care in custody.
On shift: train, document training, follow policy, and get medical help for people in custody when needed.
