Ninth Circuit -- HERSHEL ROSENBAUM V. WASHOE COUNTY

HERSHEL ROSENBAUM V. WASHOE COUNTY

   S1983 Suit against Nevada policemen for arresting plaintiff for ticket scalping, as there's no law in Nevada against ticket scalping.  

   While the crime for which there is probable cause need not be the crime for which the arrest is made, there must be probable cause for some crime reasonably within the arsenal of crimes that officers enforce in the state.

   Arresting suspect in front of kids and telling them that their dad had committed a crime and was going to jail was insufficiently conscience-shocking to qualify as a violation of family integrity DP.
