Does the existence of probable cause outweigh the failure of two police officers to conduct additional investigation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Thompson v. City of N.Y., 14-577-cv (2nd Cir. 2015):
The existence of probable cause was not negated by the officers' alleged failure to undertake additional investigation. See Curley v. Village of Suffern, 268 F.3d 65, 70 (2d Cir. 2001) ("[T]he arresting officer does not have to prove plaintiff's version wrong before arresting him. . . . Nor does it matter that an investigation might have cast doubt upon the basis for the arrest.").
