Bouncer's Request to Officers Gave PC to Arrest

Kee v. Ahlm, 2007 WL 625633 (3/2/07) - The officers had probable cause to arrest the plaintiff when one of the bar bouncers told the officers to eject plaintiff from the bar. The d.ct. was wrong to view the probable cause question from the perspective of the plaintiff who did not think he was told to leave. The 10th overturns a jury verdict for the plaintiff and remands for a jury to consider only the excessive force damages.
