Alexander L. Baxter, Petitioner v. Brad Bracey, et al.

1. Does binding authority holding that a police officer violates the Fourth Amendment when he uses a police dog to apprehend a suspect who has surrendered by lying down on the ground “clearly establish” that it is likewise unconstitutional to use a police dog on a suspect who has surrendered by sitting on the ground with his hands up? 2. Should the judge-made doctrine of qualified immunity, which cannot be justified by reference to the text of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or the relevant common law background, and which has been shown not to serve its intended policy goals, be narrowed or abolished?
