Officer Involved in LaFaive Case – Waukesha Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2021, an officer from the Waukesha Police Department was involved in the arrest of LaFaive, who alleged violations of his Fourth Amendment rights. LaFaive claimed the officer conducted an unlawful vehicle search and prolonged detention without reasonable suspicion. The court dismissed the claims, determining the officer’s actions were justified based on the circumstances, including the driver’s failure of a field sobriety test and LaFaive’s parole status for drug-related offenses.
