TN: Domestic and road rage call is a “serious crime” when evaluating officer’s use of force

When evaluating an officer’s use of force in responding to a domestic and road rage call involving a weapon, it is considered a serious crime. The use of force here was reasonable. Holland v. Cheatham Cty., 2025 Tenn. App. LEXIS 28 (Jan. 28, 2025).*

“Even if reasonable suspicion had not firmly been established at the time of the stop, Defendant’s behavior during the stop, considered in conjunction with Trooper Pope’s knowledge of the drug-trafficking investigation, certainly did so. Most notably, Defendant lied to Trooper Pope.”
United States v. Harrington, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 13983 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 27, 2025).*

Removing the alleged unlawful information from the search warrant application from defendant’s unreasonable stop in the Anchorage airport still leaves probable cause. The good faith exception also applies. United States v. Williams, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14308 (D. Alaska Jan. 27, 2025).*
