W.D.La.: Furtive conduct before getting in car justified stop of car

Defendant’s furtive activity before the stop observed on a parking lot and during the stop was reasonable suspicion. United States v. Pierre, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 147127 (W.D. La. July 17, 2020).*

Defendant admitted to there being drugs in the vehicle, so there was probable cause for the search. United States v. Drake, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 146490 (D. Neb. Aug. 14, 2020).*

Decedent was shot by an officer as he was fleeing and crashing into things. The officer ended up inside the car trying to assist another officer trying to pull decedent out by pushing him out. No case is close to this on the use of deadly force, and the officer gets qualified immunity. Stewart v. City of Euclid, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 25888 (6th Cir. Aug. 14, 2020).*
