   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-1046
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Colloton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. At the time the defendant officer arrested plaintiff, a reasonable officer would have believed plaintiff had committed or was committing the offenses of violating an order of protection, stalking or harassment; as a result, plaintiff's arrest was not a Fourth Amendment violation, and the officers were entitled to qualified immunity; even if the officers did not have probable cause to arrest plaintiff, his right to be free from unreasonable seizure was not clearly established under these facts; with respect to plaintiff's claim for conspiracy to cause false arrest or unreasonable seizure, defendant was, at the time of the incident, subject to a probation condition requiring him to submit to searches of his person and residence; under these circumstances, the Fourth Amendment requires no more than a reasonable suspicion to conduct a search of the plaintiff's house, even without a warrant, and the officers had a reasonable suspicion; the court assumes, without deciding, that the reasonable suspicion standard also applied to a search of the plaintiff's computer; the officers were entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's unreasonable search claim.
