The Craziest Qualified Immunity Claim Ever!

Episode # 89
Today on Legalese, we are going to be discussing the case of Hughes v. Few, A Qualified Immunity case that came before the Fifth Circuit earlier this month.

Issue: Under a §1983 claim, can two police officers claim qualified immunity after arresting a Good Samaritan who effectuated a legitimate citizen’s arrest and was subsequently charged with Impersonating a Police Officer after the officers filed a patently false arrest affidavit?

Though this case will likely be relevant only to those whose practice involves civil, §1983 qualified-immunity claims, if you’re looking for an interesting read, egregious facts, and a snarky opinion by a clearly offended judicial panel—this is it.
