Sixth Circuit -- Robert Andrews v. Hickman County, Tennessee


Police officer accompanying state child protective services who entered house without warrant violated clearly established law for S1983.  Neither consent, exeigency, nor de minimis.

Social workers covered by Fourth Amendment, but not liable when acting on false information provided by other state actors.

4A not as clear for social workers, so no clearly established law for purposes of S1983.
