CA5: 4A doesn’t require officer have an arrest warrant in hand or to have even read it

There is no Fourth Amendment requirement that the officer have read or have in hand an arrest warrant. United States v. Moore, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 19668 (5th Cir. Aug. 6, 2024).

The officers’ use of force here was reasonable because plaintiff briefly pointed his gun at them before dropping it. Caraway v. City of Pineville, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 19617 (4th Cir. Aug. 6, 2024).*

Defendant’s mother freely and voluntarily consented to police entry into their home when the officers were looking for him as a fugitive. United States v. Hankerson, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 19633 (11th Cir. Aug. 6, 2024).*

The officer’s allegedly illegal search did not even appear in the search warrant application, so there was no violation of the Fourth Amendment. The affidavit otherwise shows probable cause. State v. Corrothers, 2024 N.C. App. LEXIS 611 (Aug. 6, 2024).*
