Police refused to allow protesters to leave without a bag search. Officers took protesters' bags and dumped them onto the sidewalk.\n\nThe 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives individuals the right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable searches. Most warrantless searches are considered unreasonable, with the exception of searches with consent of the searched or with probable cause. By disallowing protesters to leave, police did not allow protesters to consent. Further, probable cause has been determined on several occassions to be individualized, meaning that individuals on the premises of a crime scene cannot be searched simply for being present; rather, probable cause must be established for each individual, as in [Ybarra v. Illinois](https://www.oyez.org/cases/1979/78-5937) and [United States v. Di Re](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/332/581/). This means that, in order to search protester's belongings, police would have needed to establish probable cause for each protester searched.\n\nThe Terry standard does allow police to briefly detain and search an individual on reasonable suspicion, which has a lower bar than probable cause. In [Terry v. Ohio](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/392/1/), the U.S. Supreme Court stated that police may stop and frisk - which is limited to an external pat down (e.g. for an readily-usable weapon), but does not include bag searches - an individual on the basis of reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspicion is defined in the case as the reasonable suspicion that an individual may have committed, be committing, or is about to commit a crime. There must additionally be the reasonable belief that the individual is armed and dangerous. In addition, this reasonable suspicion is individualized, so police must have established reasonable suspicion that each protester searched was both armed and engaged in, had engaged in, or was going to engage in criminal conduct.\n\nAfter reviewing the rights of protesters, it appears that police conducted these searches illegally, abusing their power to prevent protesters from leaving.", "tags": ["abuse-of-power", "protester"], "geolocation": "41.8800529, -87.6322486", "name": "Police surround protesters and search their bags", "date": "2020-08-15", "date_text": "2020-08-15", "id": "il-chicago-30"}, {"links": [{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rllO2sdj1Ek", "text": ""}, {"url": "https://twitter.com/OrozcoJustina/status/1268262843801010179", "text": ""}, {"url": "https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-joliet-mayor-video-fallout-20200606-zeidd3u5xbadxfoedmfkp22akm-story.html", "text": ""}], "state": "Illinois", "edit_at": "https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/blob/main/reports/Illinois.md", "city": "Joliet", "description": "Protesters arrested as they're leaving, including one grabbed by the neck by city mayor, Bob O'Dekirk, and dogpiled by at least 3 police officers.", "tags": ["beat", "protester", "shove", "throw"], "geolocation": "41.5227515, -88.1208659", "name": "Officers grabs someone by the neck then more cops pile on", "date": "2020-05-31", "date_text": "2020-05-31", "id": "il-joliet-1"}, {"links": [{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfRZkKR9l3w", "text": ""}], "state": "Illinois", "edit_at": "https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/blob/main/reports/Illinois.md", "city": "Rockford", "description": "An individual in a stopped car gets out and yells at police, ostensibly about the road closure by police vehicles.

Arestees were detained for long periods, still in excessively tight zip ties. Social distancing procedures were not observed.\n\nMany protesters allege that conditions in the makeshift jails were poor -- detainees denied medical attention and permission to use the restroom, for instance -- and that they were released, many with dead phones, in unfamiliar places in the middle of the night with no way to get home. Two arrestees allege that police prevented them from leaving before the curfew went into effect, then arrested them for violating the curfew. One arrestee alleges that she was twice threatened with guns, that she was sexually assaulted by police, and that police mocked detainees having panic attacks. Police also allegedly arrested at least one homeless person (to whom the curfew was not supposed to apply) for a curfew violation.\n\nA lawsuit has been filed in connection with these and other abuses by the National Lawyers' Guild; a separate lawsuit has been filed by one of the arrestees.

He alleges that a police officer told him he could finish his work. The Instagram video begins at some later point as several cops approach. They tell Walker (and at least two other persons present) to \"get inside.\" For around 12 seconds, two police officers, Walker, and one other tattoo shop employee are talking simultaneously; Walker told local news he tried to go inside but one officer blocked his path. One officer can be heard to say \"I'm giving you a chance, go in,\" then another can be heard to say \"That's exactly what's going to happen -- no -- no no -- inside, go inside, inside -- go inside, there's no debate -- no, you may not.\" Said officer then begins arresting Walker. Officers shove Walker against a wall and grab his arms; they yell for him to put his hands behind his back. One officer draws a taser and holds it near Walker's shoulder. Meanwhile, one of Walker's colleagues is filming; police scream at her to \"get the fuck back -- get back.\" It's unclear whether she's standing in a doorway or backed up against a wall. Another officer is acting very aggressively and has his taser drawn until the cop next to him taps him on the arm, at which point he holsters his taser and steps back. In total, at least eight police officers are present, of whom at least two draw their tasers, despite facing little to no resistance.\n\nNOTE: While curfews in many cities exempted anyone going to or from work, Cincinnati's exempted only essential workers.
