Tucker v. Shreveport

1. Whether the Fifth Circuit’s holding conflicts with Taylor v. Riojas, which held that officials responsible for violating an individual’s constitutional rights could have fair warning that their actions were unconstitutional, even if there is no precedent containing the same facts, and this Court’s decisions that have explicitly held that precedent need not be fundamentally similar or contain materially similar facts to give officers fair warning. 2. Whether police officers are entitled to qualified immunity so long as there is no prior caselaw declaring their actions unconstitutional in an identical fact pattern in the same circuit, as the Fifth and Eighth Circuit have held, or whether prior caselaw can clearly establish a constitutional violation despite some factual variation, as the First, Third, Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits have held.
