6. Police Encounters
Consensual encounters
Detentions
Arrests

7. Authority of Law Enforcement
LEO - private person arrest anywhere.
LEO must be in his/her officer’s jurisdiction.
Jurisdiction determined by legislative enactments.
City LE (police)
County LE (sheriff)
State LE (troopers)
Federal LE (agents)

8. Temporary Detention Terry v. Ohio
Intrusion is minimal – less than arrest
Justification: Reasonable suspicion - Based on specific facts that can be articulated to a court.
- Less than probable cause.
- Cannot be based on “instinct” not backed by facts
Developed the concept of differential intrusiveness
Stop & Frisk

9. Temporary Detention Typically a short period of time
Detention for questioning is not an arrest
May also use reasonable force
LE may pat down individual for weapons (with additional reasonable suspicion exists and necessary for safety reasons)
If police restraint goes beyond that which is reasonably necessary for questioning, an arrest may result.

10. Arrest
The taking of a person into custody in the manner authorized by law.
Private Person v. LEO arrest
Arrest Defined:
when the detained person;
reasonably believes;
he/she is not free to leave;
due to the actions of LE; and
in the manner authorized by law.

11. Two Elements of Probable Cause
Reasonable belief crime has been committed
Person to be arrested committed the crime (past/present/future)

12. Arrests & Warrants General rules:
1. For LE to make an arrest, police must obtain an arrest warrant. No arrest warrant – no arrest.
2. Except…Warrantless Arrest (most common) To make warrantless arrest, a) Exigent circumstances must exist (no time to obtain warrant) and b) LE must have probable cause.

13. Uniform Act of Fresh Pursuit
Uniform act adopted by most states.
Allows an officer to cross state lines in “hot pursuit.”
In most states it applies only to felonies.
Individual arrested must, without unnecessary delay, be taken before a “local magistrate.”

14. Custody What is Custody?
When retained person reasonably believes they are not free to leave the scene.
When does Custody attach?
Courts use objective standard: reasonable person in the suspect’s shoes
Note: Miranda warning is not legally required upon arrest; required only when person taken into custody and is interrogated

15. Decision to Arrest If arrest is lawful:
Non-deadly force reasonably necessary to overcome resistance; to retain custody;
Has duty to inform if possible;
Person may be subjected to reasonable restraints;
Person may be searched
If suspect resists, the officer may increase the force to counter the resistance;
LE has no duty to retreat as force escalates

16. Use of Deadly Force
Defined: force reasonably capable of causing death or great bodily harm
Justification: only as an absolute last resort and where the failure to stop suspect poses a serious risk of bodily injury or death to others.
Killing by civilians can be considered justifiable homicide if it is committed in self defense, the defense of others, while trying to prevent of serious crime.
Deadly force (LE) is restricted to the guidelines set forth in Tennessee v. Garner.

17. Excessive Force Even when use of deadly force is justified,
Force used may be excessive
Not necessary under the circumstances
Police brutality is the intentional use of excessive force, usually physical, but potentially also in the form of verbal attacks and psychological intimidation

18. Miranda Requirements For Miranda to apply, individual must be
1. In custody
Under control of law enforcement
Not free to leave
2. And Interrogated
Questioning intended to elicit information from the suspect

19. Miranda Warning Right to remain silent
Components:
Right to remain silent
Anything said can be used to incriminate
Right to attorney while questioned
Right to attorney, if can’t afford one
At Trial:
Both inculpatory & exculpatory statements, in custody under interrogation are admissible ONLY IF prosecution shows:
a) defendant was informed of the right to counsel b) before and during questioning c) informed of right against self-incrimination prior to questioning
d) understood these rights, but voluntarily waived them.

20. Miranda Exceptions
