Supreme Court Refuses to Block Lawsuits and Review Rulings
Supreme Court decisions impact police immunity and race-based seizure standards.
Event Overview
The Supreme Court refused to block a lawsuit against former LAPD officer Toni McBride regarding the 2020 shooting of Daniel Hernandez. Separately, the Court declined to hear United States v. Donte J. Carter, leaving in place a D.C. ruling that considers race when determining if a police encounter is an illegal seizure. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented in the Carter case, arguing against race-specific legal standards.
