Litigation Consultant | Outsource Legal Writer | Advocate for Equal Justice and Disability Rights
Did you ever wonder if you could sue the cops for shooting your dog? Today, in a case of first impression, the 11th Circuit answered "yes," and held that shooting a domestic animal constitutes a seizure of the owner's property -- subjecting the police officer's actions to the Fourth Amendment reasonableness requirement for purposes of a civil rights claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983: "Sylvan Plowright sued Miami-Dade County, its police chief, and two of its police officers after one of those officers, Sergio Cordova, fatally shot Plowright’s dog, Niles, at the scene of an investigation. The district court dismissed Plowright’s complaint, concluding among other things that Cordova was entitled to qualified immunity because he did not violate any clearly established right when he shot Niles. We disagree. Addressing a matter of first impression in this Circuit, we hold that the use of deadly force against a domestic animal constitutes a seizure of its owner’s property subject to the Fourth Amendment’s reasonableness requirement. Because, under the facts alleged in the complaint, no reasonable officer in Cordova’s position could have believed that Niles posed an imminent danger, his decision to shoot Niles falls short of that requirement. ... this is one of the rare cases in which the unconstitutional nature of Cordova’s actions was clearly established to the point of obvious clarity, even in the absence of directly-on-point caselaw."
