CA9 & TX 11: Video of use of force shows it reasonable

“Here, viewing the sequence of events as depicted in the videotapes, we conclude that no material facts are in genuine dispute and that a reasonable factfinder would necessarily find that the officers’ use of force was objectively reasonable.” Amons v. Tindall, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 20960 (9th Cir. July 15, 2021).*

While the complaint is normally viewed for sufficiency, here it was contradicted by the video of the occurrence as in Scott. The officers acted reasonably and without excessive force. Klassen v. Gaines County, 2021 Tex. App. LEXIS 5631 (Tex. App. – Eastland July 15, 2021).*

Assuming a separate Fourth Amendment violation from email production in discovery to codefendants, it was reasonably believed to be consensual, so there’s no deterrence in suppressing. United States v. Reichberg, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 20935 (2d Cir. July 15, 2021).*
