Reichle v. Howards

What later courts said

• holding that there is no “specific right to be free from a retaliatory arrest that is otherwise supported by probable cause” — Abeyta v. City of New York (2014)
• holding that as of 2006, “it was not clearly established that an arrest supported by probable cause could give rise to a First Amendment violation” — Baer v. Leach (2015)
• concluding that officers were entitled to qualified immunity after considering only the “clearly established” prong of that analysis — Johnson v. Wichita, Kansas, City of (2024)
