Bauliguy v. United States

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that this Court recognizes “a federal claim of malicious prosecution under the Fourth Amendment where plaintiffs alleged that defendants wrongfully investigated, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated them”
• holding that defendant’s efforts to rebuff police attempts to enter his house did not negate an objective belief in a medical emergency where police observed defendant’s hand bleeding profusely, confirming the report of a cutting or stabbing
• holding that a victim’s statement that the defendant “had abused her alone is sufficient to establish No. 05-5835 United States v. Harness Page 3 probable cause” to arrest the defendant for domestic violence
• concluding that an emergency 911 report combined with police officers’ observations of a man bleeding, acting belligerently, and demanding assistance from paramedics justified warrantless entry into a home on the basis of exigent circumstances
• stating that a call from an occupant of the home soliciting a response from an emergency team does not amount to consent and examining whether exigent circumstances existed
• explaining that the Fourth Amendment’s “reasonableness requirement generally requires that police obtain a warrant based upon a judicial determination of probable cause prior to entering a home”
