Heading: arrest and prosecution for operating an uninsured vehicle.

Text: 17 The uncontroverted facts demonstrate that at the time he arrested Hampton for operating an uninsured vehicle, White had noticed a discrepancy between the truck's registration and its insurance, had investigated the matter, and had been informed by an insurance agent that the truck was not insured. White then presented these facts to a municipal judge who issued the arrest warrant. Because she failed to present any evidence to demonstrate that a reasonable officer faced with these circumstances would not believe that he had probable cause to arrest her, White is entitled to qualified immunity against Hampton's claim of illegal arrest and malicious prosecution for oper ating an uninsured vehicle. 3 Accordingly, we reverse and remand with instructions to grant summary judgment in favor of Officer White on this claim. 18
