Graham v Connor 490 U.S. (1989)

This video cover the highlights of the United States Supreme Court case in Graham v Connor 490 U.S. (1989).



When it comes to use of force, specifically excessive force, the landmark case is Graham v. Conner which is the national standard that is utilized today. In this 1989 case the U.S. Supreme Court declared use of force to be a Fourth Amendment issue subject to an “objective reasonableness” standard.


Use of Force applications are judged based upon:


‒ The totality of circumstances
‒ From the perspective of a reasonable officer
‒ On the scene
‒ At the moment force was used
‒ Without 20/20 hindsight
‒ In circumstances that are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving
