Episode Synopsis

This case, decided by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, explored the application of Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures in the context of arrests. The article focuses on whether a Taser was used excessively by officers in a situation where Beroid, the plaintiff, was allegedly resisting arrest. The court ultimately ruled that the use of the Taser was reasonable given Beroid’s active resistance and upheld the district court's decision in favor of the officers.
