Fareed Hayat v. Casey Diaz

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the officers on Hayat’s Fourth Amendment claim. It held that the officers had reasonable suspicion of a possible child kidnapping, initiated a Terry stop before Hayat retreated into his home, and could continue the stop inside without a warrant because the retreat and concern for the children’s welfare created exigent circumstances. The court therefore concluded that the warrantless entry and temporary detention were reasonable.
