Appeals Court Denies Immunity in Houston v. Reeves Handcuffing Case
Original: Cleared in 2 Minutes, Handcuffed for 17: Appeals Court Denies Officers Immunity (Houston v. Reeves)
A federal appeals court has denied qualified immunity to officers in the case Houston v. Reeves, involving a man who was reportedly cleared in two minutes but held handcuffed for seventeen minutes. The ruling allows the lawsuit over the detention to move forward, drawing attention to disputes over how long police may restrain someone after determining they are free to go.
Why now: The ruling on qualified immunity is drawing attention as it may set limits on police detention practices.
