“This case presents the question whether a police officer is entitled to qualified immunity when he intentionally applies unnecessarily tight handcuffs to an arrestee who is neither resisting arrest nor attempting to flee, thereby causing serious and permanent injuries,” Judge Stanley Marcus said.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has ruled a Miami police officer is not entitled to immunity from an excessive force civil rights lawsuit alleging he intentionally placed handcuffs tight enough to do permanent nerve damage to the hands of a man stopped for speeding.
Circuit Judge Stanley Marcus authored the opinion released Thursday. He was joined by Senior Circuit Judge Joel Dubina and U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Goldberg, sitting by designation.
