From Inside Higher Ed:
A police officer at the University of Maryland at College Park did not violate the Fourth Amendment rights of a then-student when he and other officers entered the student’s dormitory room by mistake during a multi-room drug raid in 2002 and briefly detained the student, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled Wednesday. The student had sued the officer and the state of Maryland, but the appeals panel, overturning a lower court ruling, concluded that the officer behaved in a reasonable manner and was protected by qualified immunity.
