Officer Nicholas Andrzejewski. Looks like you screwed the pooch on this one. I wonder if this lawsuit will go after the chain of command for negligent training, negligent supervision, or negligent hiring?

He did exactly what states expect a law abiding person is supposed to do.

This police officer engaged in torture.

Looks like he’s junior G man. If anything, possession of a firearms permit should tell a cop this individual is LESS likely to be criminal than the average person. The cop knows the permit holder is not a felon and has been certified by the state as citizen in good standing worthy of the right to carry a concealed firearm.

As common sense as that position is, it's still somewhat surprising to see the Second Circuit panel unanimously reach that conclusion... especially since the panel was comprised of two Biden appointees and one judge appointed by Barack Obama.

Yes, the bad cop is going to get any more sympathetic hearing of his cause than this.

His cause is lost.

This is a very big deal. It removes qualified immunity from officers who have claimed the power to search merely because a firearm was present.

With 26 states now having Constitutional Carry, this has a large impact. Even the Second Circuit includes Vermont, which has had Constitutional Carry, where no permit is needed, for its entire existence.

While this is a Fourth Amendment case, including the lawful carry of firearms under the ambit of the Fourth Amendment is a significant blow to the administrative state.

“Andrzejewski’s argument is essentially that, by exercising our Second Amendment rights, we give up our Fourth Amendment right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. In fact, he basically maintained that possessing a valid pistol permit gave him reasonable suspicion to search Soukaneh’s vehicle for some evidence of wrongdoing.”

That would be like saying anyone with a valid driver’s license is probably up to something and I should search their vehicle for drugs.

Physical restraint and imprisonment is an arrest not detainment.

This was false arrest before the search ever started.

He was NOT detained, he was KIDNAPPED AT GUN POINT and Held against his will. I actually think CFriminal Penalties should apply to the Thug in the Magic Blue Costume.

On appeal, Andrzejewski argues we should reverse the district court’s denial of qualified immunity because the presence of the lawfully owned firearm in the vehicle gave him the requisite probable cause to detain Soukaneh, search the interior of his car, and search his trunk.

That is one of the most facially absurd arguments I have ever heard. Not only should the victim of this insanity be compensated, out of the government employee's pocket, the government employee should face trial for kidnapping, wanton destruction of property, and violation of civil rights. At least.

Hey FR Cops! You want to see why even honest citizens hate you? Look in the mirror. If you're not up front trying to stop this kind of criminal misconduct in your ranks, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Absolutely crazy for the cop to react that way. 1. Concealed Carry Permit holders are less likely to commit crime than police officers. 2. If the guy is showing you his conceal carry permit first thing as is required, he’s not threatening you. Quite the contrary.

According to Dr Clarissa Cole, fully half the people who flat out FAILED the psych exam were hired anyway.

Did Andrzejewski fail his psych exam?

Who hired him anyway, knowing full well he’d be a loose cannon?

Find that person or persons and FIRE them, then sue each and every one of them.

Would the presence of lawful reading material (books, pamphlets, periodicals - all covered under the 1st Amendment) in the vehicle likewise have given the cop the right to conduct a warrantless search?

No?

Then why should the presence of lawful firearms (covered under the 2nd Amendment) have entitled the cop to conduct such a search?

Andrezewski huh? I’ll bet he has a few ancestors who would voluntarily kick his rancid ass like should have been done in Poland.
