In Luer v. Clinton, 987 F.3d 1160 (8th Cir. 2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that officers' nighttime entry into a residence's backyard, the residence's attached garage, and the residence itself—all in search of a suspect who failed to pay a cab fare—were justified by the "community caretaker" exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. But the officers' "extensive search" of the residence was held to be objectively unreasonable, depriving them of qualified immunity. With the U.S. Supreme Court taking up this term the parameters of any "community caretaking" exception to general Fourth Amendment requirements for home entries and searches, it is possible this precedent may be short-lived.
