Stoked to see our 4A win in @shortcircuitij.bsky.social's newsletter.
Allegation: In pre-dawn hours, naked, partially deaf man hears banging outside his home. Thinking it’s his adult son returning home, he opens the back door a crack and heads back to his bedroom. Yikes! It’s Levy County, Fla. officers (looking for the son, who isn’t there). Without a word, an officer follows the man into the house and confronts him at gunpoint, allowing him to put on pants but then tasing him without warning. Officers: We didn’t have a warrant, and there was no exigency. But the man consented to our entry when he opened the door. Eleventh Circuit: No qualified immunity. To a jury this must go.
