In United States v. Carlocito Slim (No. 21-2693), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit rejected the argument that an arrest by South Dakota law-enforcement officers was unreasonable because the officers lacked authority under state law to arrest the defendant for 8th Circuit Spotlighta federal crime. Regardless of South Dakota law, the court held, whether an arrest complies with the Fourth Amendment does not require reference to the arrest's legality under state law; an arrest by state officers is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment if it is based on probable cause.
