Supreme Court of the United States

Michigan v. Fisher

December 7, 2009558 U.S. 45

Summary

The Court reversed, holding that police officers' warrantless entry into Fisher's home was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment's emergency aid exception, as they had an objectively reasonable basis to believe Fisher was in need of immediate aid or was endangering others. Justice Stevens, dissenting with Justice Sotomayor, argued the Court should not override state court fact-finding or micromanage tribunals.
