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.
