Tennessee vs. Garner
Tennessee v. Garner
The U.S. Supreme Court decision that established the reasonable officer standard for police use of deadly force is Graham v. Connor (1989). In this ruling, the Court held that the use of force by law enforcement must be evaluated based on the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with hindsight. The standard considers the totality of circumstances and the threat faced by the officer at the moment, emphasizing the need for officers to make split-second decisions in tense situations.
The guiding force in the US for US Supreme Court decisions is the US Constitution. The Supreme Court is one of the three major parts of the Federal government. Through the Congress, the Executive branch and the Court, a balance of power was created.
Tennessee v. Garner is a civil case involving law enforcement officers pursuing an unarmed suspect and using deadly force to prevent escape. In 1985 the Supreme Court of the United States held that the law enforcement officer may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." The Supreme Court ruled that use of deadly force to prevent escape is an unreasonable seizure under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
