United States Sixth Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 civil rights action, summary judgment for defendant-police officer on the ground of qualified immunity is reversed where a reasonable officer would have known that the false representations made to plaintiff to obtain his consent for detainment violated his clearly established constitutional rights.
