Chambers v. Tallahassee Hotel, LLC
How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that police may not “tell an occupant that they have a warrant to make an arrest at a given address when they do not”
- criticizing officers’ failure to pursue easily available clarifying information as “one more self-imposed shroud of ignorance that made other potential clues look more salient than they were.”
- finding officers’ explanations for entering a house unreasonable since officers must “take steps to reasonably ensure” they are not entering the wrong home when they execute an arrest warrant.
