Legal Digest: Supreme Court Cases - 2015-2016 Term

摘要

During its 2015-2016 session, the U.S. Supreme Court decided cases of interest to the law enforcement community. These include a consolidated trio of cases looking at implied consent laws in driving under the influence (DUI) cases, a Terry stop case, an unusual Second Amendment case, and a case addressing qualified immunity after use of deadly force. This article provides a brief synopsis of each. As always, law enforcement agencies should be aware that their own state constitutions and laws may provide greater protections than U.S. constitutional standards.
