Scott v Harris
Harris filed a lawsuit alleging the use of excessive force based on unreasonable seizure under the 4th Amendment. On April 30, 2007, the Court rendered its decision, sustaining summary judgment in favor of the officer. The court applied the "reasonableness" test from the 4th Amendment. Regardless of whether the action by Deputy Scott was deadly force, the court stated that "what matters is whether those actions were reasonable." The court clearly felt that Mr. Harris "intentionally placed himself and the public in danger" by participating in a high speed pursuit. The court ruled that a police officer's attempt to terminate a dangerous high-speed car chase that threatens the lives of innocent bystanders does not violate the 4th Amendment, even when it places the fleeing motorist at risk of serious injury or death. A couple points are clear from the Court's decision: This case is not about the PIT maneuver. While Deputy Scott asked permission to use PIT, he determined that he was going too fast to do so and he rammed the vehicle instead. A precision maneuver such as PIT is not the same as ramming a vehicle. The Court places the blame on the suspect and rejects the idea that if the police had cancelled the pursuit, but public would be safer. The decision by the Court tells law enforcement that if they engage in a pursuit that endangers the lives of "innocent bystanders," and the fleeing motorist is at risk of serious injury or death based on the actions of an officer in pursuit, the Fourth Amendment is not violated. While this ruling sides with law enforcement and its efforts to apprehend criminals that flee in vehicles, it should not give agencies carte blanche authority to engage in high-speed pursuits and tactical maneuvers without the proper training. While the court did not address that issue, they did discuss "reasonableness." Providing officers with frequent training in pursuits is not only reasonable but crucial because it will reduce the inherent risks involved in pursuits.

Estate of Cavanaugh vs Andrade
Late in the evening, Officer Andrade observed a vehicle speed through a solid red traffic signal and Andrade began to pursue the offending vehicle. The subject's vehicle continued at a high rate of speed and went through another red light before colliding with Cavanaugh's vehicle, killing Cavanaugh. Andrade was approximately a block away in pursuit when the fatal collision occurred. Cavanaugh's estate sued the City and Andrade as well as the subject. First the Court held that the police are immune from suit for the decision to engage in a pursuit. The rationale is that the decision to pursue or not to purse is a discretionary one and it is inappropriate for the police to be sued for exercising their discretion. However, the Court continued to hold that the police can be sued for the manner in which the pursuit is executed. In this case, the City was found negligent and liable because its policy on pursuits did not list as one of its factors, "the severity of the offense." The Court opined that not referencing the severity of the offense in the pursuit policy is negligent because it does not give the officer proper direction on whether or not to continue the pursuit. As for suing the officer, the court held that the police officer can be sued in pursuit if he or she "breached the duty to operate the vehicle with due regard under the circumstances." NOTE: Negligence Negligence in law enforcement driving is the failure to use the care a reasonable officer would use under like circumstances. Willful recklessness is a disregard of a clear risk of serious harm. Negligent driving may result in civil liability against the officer, the officer's supervisor, and the officer's employing agency, although many states grant immunity from civil liability based on ordinary negligence. Willful, reckless driving causing a fatality may result in an officer's conviction for felonious involuntary manslaughter, and may disqualify the officer from employment in law enforcement. In many states, negligence or recklessness in failing to terminate a dangerous pursuit may result in civil liability if the fleeing suspect's car hits an innocent bystander. Officers who conduct pursuits that "shocks the conscience" in the potential harm to the public, risk liability under federal law. Use of a law enforcement vehicle as an instrumentality of force to affect an arrest of a fleeing suspect may be deadly force. Roadblocks and ramming may be violations of constitutional rights if the use of force is unreasonable under the circumstances.

Sacramento v Lewis
The federal courts are the only jurisdictions that essentially bar pursuit lawsuits arising from a fleeing criminal's collision. In County of Sacramento v. Lewis, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the federal civil rights act theory does not apply to the usual pursuit lawsuit. The Supreme Court held that in order for an officer to deprive someone of his or her constitutional right of due process, an officer's conduct during the pursuit must have been so outrageous that it "shocks the conscience." In this case, the Court held that a police officer does not violate substantive due process under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by causing death through deliberate or reckless indifference to life in a high-speed automobile chase aimed at apprehending a suspected offender. Only a purpose to cause harm unrelated to the legitimate object of arrest will satisfy the element of arbitrary conduct shocking to the conscious necessary for a due process violation. In this case, the plaintiff's decedent was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle that refused to pull over when a deputy sheriff motioned its driver to do so. A second deputy sheriff engaged in a high-speed pursuit and crashed into the motorcycle after it tipped over, killing the passenger. The trial court granted summary judgment for the defendant officer, but a federal appeals court reversed, finding that a claim for violation of substantive due process was stated by an allegation that the officer acted with "deliberate indifference to, or reckless disregard" of the person's right to life and personal security. Among the assertions, the plaintiff stated that the deputy "apparently disregarded" a departmental general order which might have kept the chase from occurring. The order required the officer to communicate his intention to pursue the vehicle to the dispatch center and to consider whether the seriousness of the offense warrants a high-speed chase. The appeals court found that there was "no apparent danger involved in permitting the boys to escape," but a "risk of harm to others in continuing the pursuit," and found that the case should proceed to trial. In overturning this ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the proper blame for the incident could be placed on the motorcycle driver's lawless and "outrageous" conduct in attempting to elude pursuit. It also rejected the argument that the claim was governed by the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The Court noted that the officer did not intentionally seek to terminate the plaintiff's freedom of motion. The Court found that imposing liability on officers for death or injury resulting from high speed pursuits based on a standard of "deliberate indifference" would ignore the fact that officers must make decisions as to whether to pursue an offender "in haste, under pressure, and frequently without the luxury of a second chance." An officer deciding whether to give chase "must balance on one hand the need to stop a suspect and show that flight from the law is no way to freedom, and on the other, the high-speed threat to everyone from within stopping range, be they suspects, their passengers, other drivers, or bystanders." When "extended opportunities to do better are teamed with protracted failure even to care, indifference is truly shocking. But when unforeseen circumstances demand an officer's instant judgment, even precipitate recklessness fails to inch close enough to harmful purpose to spark the shock" required for liability in this case. "Just as a purpose to cause harm is needed for Eight Amendment liability in a [prison] riot case, so it ought to be needed for Due Process liability in a pursuit case. Accordingly, we hold that high-speed chases with no intent to harm suspects physically or to worsen their legal plight do not give rise to liability under the Fourteenth Amendment, redressable by an action under [42 U.S.C] Sec. 1983" NOTE: Definition Deliberate Indifference is the conscious or reckless disregard of the consequences for one's acts or omissions. It entails something more than negligence, but is satisfied by something less than actors or omissions for the very purpose of causing harm or with knowledge that harm will result.
