The Use of Force and Firearms

A police officer may use as much physical force as is reasonably necessary to make an arrest. However, most police departments limit the use of deadly force to incidents involving dangerous or threatening suspects. In 1985 the US Supreme Court was asked to decide whether it was lawful for police to shoot an “unarmed fleeing felony suspect”. In deciding the case, the court ruled that deadly force may not be used unless it is necessary to prevent the escape, and the officer has probable cause to believe the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm to the officer or others.

If a police officer uses too much force or makes an unlawful arrest, the accused may bring a civil action for damages or possibly a criminal action for violations of civil rights. In addition, many police departments have procedures for handling citizen complaints about police misconduct. A police officer, however, is never liable for false arrest simply because the person arrested did not commit the crime. Rather, it must be shown that that the officer acted maliciously or had no reasonable grounds for suspicion of guilt.

1. In what cases may police officers use deadly force?

2. Why is a police officer never liable for false arrest simply because the person arrested did not commit the crime?
