fourth amendment response in court if for instance an officer arrest suspect without believing the probable cause exists in other words believing that the arrest in fact is unconstitutional because the officer please he or she does not have but going back to judge clifton this question as to what the nature of the inquiry is here the inquiry ultimately is always whether the the arrest was an unreasonable seizure and the fourth amendment and that the fourth amendment to the demands and the reasonable standard is surely objective there is no room for subjective beliefs of the officers take to play what's relevant with respect to the officers are the facts  officers in the field have to make this call as a practical matter as well as an everyday occurrence if they don't have a warrant they make that determination based on their knowledge of the t that self involved to step in corey the first question is whether there was probable cause to arrest for that kind of damage off the the mother you want to shorten it when you say mother you mean as opposed to the grandmother exactly the mother of the head of this organized the mother here and i believe that's where your question is going towards first kind of the background circumstances which are relevant involve the exigency of the situation here circumstances that the i think it's going back to the objective quote we've bounced from the object of the inquiry to the to the subject of inquiry korean and vice versa let's go back to the question of whether it's a purely objective common theme in the courts most recent fourth amendment jurisprudence there are simply no exceptions to this rule when an arrest is based on probable cause which is determined by an objective matter so long as the facts are confronting the officers at the time would have warranted a reasonable officer a reasonable and trained officer making the same conclusion that's all going to the second point which is even if this court were to conclude decision in bristow that the act clearly established law required to overcome qualified immunity can take two forms the first which the court could address which puts when it finds an obvious violation the fourth amendment to address prince of this court the supreme court which has made painstakingly clear that subjective intent motivations and beliefs are relevant for purposes of the fourth amendment but if you so if you don't have a clear violation then you need to go to the more particularized inquiry that is articulated in there you must find a case with materially similar facts in order to give officers a fair warning as to the whether the officers did in fact believe the woman was the mother and except for a moment the proposition that you've offered on legal grounds that their subjective belief measurement of probable cause were they would there be probable cause to arrest everybody in the car under the circumstances described here i don't believe that it's not of a ninety four year old bad luck there were circumstances beyond that which would give rise to the reasonable conclusion that she was left at them and off i would note your honor that this error although it was reasonable i was fairly promptly corrected by the or well if you can't arrest her just for being there with these other let's just say no no and run criminal known perks right there's more than just her being there not only was found in the car coming from the mother's house she shares characteristics but the mother she was not able to to provide for instance an address or anything other than perhaps her name which she alleges in those circumstances the fact that she bears a resemblance has certain key characters this to characteristics with the suspect and it's coming from the suspect's house in the company of individuals with a suspect is known to you know being gauging the criminal enterprise with i think that's the fish for purposes of determining whether it was objective what reasonable now ultimately again through the normal course of events if that is wrong directly reasonable conclusions are sometimes wrong it's caught and it's caught rather quickly either when rest that's what this case is all about your honor and as to the objective nature we believe that he left the record more than adequately supports actions here which unfortunately did result and of dissension  please the court perils of representing the plaintiff what happened in this case is that the individual named defendants filed a motion for summary judgment where they put their subjective knowledge at issue they said we arrested her because we believed she was revoked we countered that with a number of statements made by several of these contemporaneous more contemporaneous with the actual incident in which they gave no indication they have to actually believe it and that the case i would rely upon most principally your honor is one that actually the government sites which is levy gregory which is a nice circuit case decided just last year  it was decided after i filed my brief but i didn't notice it frankly just about a year after or see a month after i filed my brief and that was a case of mistaken identity sort of although who had a warrant out for his arrest the plaintiff was being difficult didn't want to talk to the agent and so with the agent did with there was a warrant for this the brother in florida on another  charge got a copy of that warrant which was perfectly valid nothing wrong with the warrant self and use that warrant and had local law enforcement officials go and arrest the plaintiff saying this was the person that you want to or if that is the testimony gave no indication that they believed that she was rebecca done with it so this this whole thing about well they're both elderly and they both speak russian this is sort of the after the fact construct  if i'm a law enforcement agent and i see a man on the street and i know that he fits that exact description all the facts and circumstances confronting me tell me if that person fits the exact description of somebody that i know has a warrant out for their arrest but i also subjectively believe that that's not the person for whatever reason i know that that's not actually the person two different things i know and i subjectively believe why does why do i bit i don't think i need to prove that they actually knew that she was funny karen what i do need to establish i think is that they had no reason to believe that she was rebecca domino because if she's not rebecca they have no grounds to was transported down to the f b i office so that she could be interviewed right so they detained her so that they can interview and the interview never happened apparently the agent's actually being mistaken about that person's identity and that's that's why you know i agree that the levy gregory is not exactly fully employed but it demonstrates the point that there can be and there are cases where sometimes those facts are relevant and mistaken identity is one of the situations where officers actual knowledge about mr stances is relevant to whether the arrest is justified so you're not probable cause or whether defense or merely uncertain that seems to be phrased much more in terms of the actual understanding at the moment of the officer going to call the subjective standard is it your view then that the district that language at least we suggest that the decision turned on a subjective read of the object is standard so let me put the question to you differently without in favor of the proposition that objectively it was reasonable to conclude that the grandmother was the mother yes i think well i think there's always an objective test question is one is there also a subjective test and i think this is one of the situations where there is also a subjective where the the officer subjective beliefs about the state of affairs particular about this person's identity is relevant that in the wind just had enough to get this guy that doesn't undercut the objective past well why here well of course in those cases there was actually probable cause to arrest the person the officer may not back to the objective standard what i'm trying to find out is at what point is the actual belief of the officer pertinent to the question well i can't speak to the whole broader range of situations but it it's relevant and they assume that you actually have the belief and it's just a factual predicate for these types of cases where the officer is relying upon a mistaken identity and i think the levy could one case does bear that out  that is just a logical inherent predicate to these cases where officers are relying upon mistaken identity numerous occasions that when we're talking about probable cause in the fourth amendment you look at the telly the circumstances and you judge it under a purely objective test the court has said that the only felony ever recognize possible exceptions and those exceptions fall outside the context involved probably cause it is the administrative search context or the inventory search context in both of those cases the search is conducted without probable cause you don't look at the facts and circumstances and  circumstances in this context you might sometimes look possibly because i'm not sure the courts felt that they recognized that there might be an exception in this context but when you're dealing with it to tell you the circumstances including a mistaken identity as an object
