recognizing that courts may address the clearly established prong when it is dispositive, without analyzing whether a constitutional violation occurred
noting that the fact that the prosecutor’s office “authorized the arrest warrant and created the charging document” did not negate the influence of the officers who “supplied the reports and investigative materials forming the basis for the specific charges”
declining “to address the first prong of the qualified immunity analysis” when the second was “dispositive”
“The officers seized a variety of electronic devices, including several iPods, a desktop computer, laptops, and several thumb drive storage devices.”
“The gravamen of a so-called malicious prosecution offense, arising from the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures, “is continued detention without probable cause.”
