Plaintiffs Who Interfered with Son's Arrest Were Reasonably Seized

Bradford v. Wiggins, No. 06-4287 (10th Cir. 2/20/08):

Defendant deputies were entitled to qualified immunity in civil rights suit arising out of the defendants' alleged seizure of the plaintiffs when they interfered with the arrest of their son. The majority assumed without deciding that the Bradfords were seized, but that it was reasonable and did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Concurring, Chief Judge Henry would have held unequivocally that the Bradfords were seized, albeit reasonably.
