Supreme Court has historically recognized that analyzing and ultimately judging the conduct of police officers requires an acknowledgment and appreciation that, particularly in the context of the use of force, the court and trier of fact must take into account the circumstances under which police officers must make such decisions.
The
Court has also historically emphasized that district courts must consider the application of qualified immunity to any police case, including claims of excessive force.
Scott v. Harris brings these two legal issues together in a case in which a police officer made a conscious decision to ram a criminal suspect's car during a police pursuit which resulted in catastrophic injuries to the driver. We will discuss the importance of this most significant decision to police pursuit cases as well as its application beyond police pursuits to the application of force by officers, particularly in circumstances where officers are acting under 'intense and rapidly evolving circumstances.'
