Broadcast Blue – Search and seizure legal update podcast from LEO LAW.

For the week ending June 14, 2024

In this 60-minute podcast, host Bruce-Alan Barnard from LEA ONE provides an in-depth analysis of the Fifth Circuit decision in Villareal v. City of Laredo et al decided on November 1, 2021.

In this case, the Fifth Circuit denied qualified immunity to officers who made an arrest under an arrest warrant because the statute under which the arrest was made was deemed to be unconstitutional after the arrest.  The court held that, notwithstanding the fact that no court had ever declared the statute unconstitutional and a neutral magistrate issued an arrest warrant under the statute, the officers should have independently determined that the statute was unconstitutional and not made the arrest.

In this 30-minute podcast, retired FLETC Senior Legal Instructor Bruce-Alan Barnard explains this important Supreme Court decision regarding the Community Caretaking Exception and what it means for police welfare checks and Red Flag laws.

In this episode, host Bruce-Alan Barnard analyzes the 7th Circuit decision in United States v. Davis providing an explanation of the judicially-recognized exception for Search Incident to Arrest.
