the starting point is the Fourth Amendment
The Supreme Court confirmed this rule in United States versus Watson
decided in 1976
misdemeanor offenses in Atwater versus city of Lago Vista
decided in 2001
under Devin Peck versus Alford
decided in 2004
the use of force is governed by Graham versus Conner
decided in 1989
the subject's profanity raises a First Amendment question
under city of Houston versus hill
decided in 1987 profane speech
the search of her person is authorized under Chimal versus California
decided in 1969
on these standards Officer link earns a B+ for textbook identification
lawful command and minimum necessary force
the assisting officers earn a B for competent contact and cover work
with minor stylistic concerns
the subject earns an F for repeated
deliberate well documented criminal conduct
the department earns a B+ for visible officer training
and protocol compliance
it begins as a routine call
a reported fight at an airport restaurant
but by the time officers arrive
an elderly woman is bleeding
witnesses are still in shock
and the suspect has disappeared into the terminal
what follows is not just an arrest
it is a chain of decisions
that will be measured against the Fourth Amendment
the First Amendment and the standard set in Graham versus Conner
five charges one body cam
and a single question that hangs over every second of this footage
when the victims refuse to press charges
can officers still take you to jail
this analysis sets aside the facts of the incident
to focus on the legal and tactical doctrines that govern the arrest
the objective is doctrinal clarity
not narrative summary
a warrantless arrest in a public place is constitutional
whenever supported by probable cause
and extended it to minor
the officer's subjective motivation is constitutionally irrelevant
so long as objective probable cause exists for any offence
a critical doctrinal point follows
disorderly conduct is a public order offence
unlike assault which protects an individual victim
it protects the peace of the community
the state therefore retains independent prosecutorial standing
regardless of whether any private victim wishes to cooperate
a victim's decision to decline charges
does not extinguish an officer's authority to arrest
on this basis
reasonableness
must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer
on the scene at the moment of the decision
not with the benefit of hindsight
three factors apply severity of the offense
immediate threat and active resistance or flight
all Three Way in favor of the force used here
which remained at the lower end of the use of force continuum
directed at law enforcement is generally protected expression
officers properly declined to base any charge on the subject's words
alone
her unprotected conduct spitting
and active physical resistance
supplied the predicate for every charge filed
while the subject requested a same gender search
no constitutional right to such a search attaches
at the point of arrest where delay is impractical
spitting on a peace officer is treated
in most jurisdictions
as an aggravated assault on a public safety officer
saliva is classified as a biohazard
and the offence is frequently charged as a felony
the hobble restraint applied during transport is permissible
but demands continuous monitoring to prevent positional asphyxia
along with First Amendment
compliant restraint in the face of provocation
three lessons emerge
first a victim's refusal to press charges
does not preclude prosecution of public order offenses
probable cause alone supplies the authority to arrest
second profanity is not a crime
physical conduct is
officers must distinguish protected speech from unlawful action
and decline to escalate based on words alone
third restraint techniques such as the hobble carry real medical risk
tactical efficacy must never be separated from continuous
medical monitoring of the restrained subject
