Fifth Circuit: Carlos Gonzalez v. Able Huerta

S1983, Fourth Amendment

Although the investigative detention was made without reasonable suspicion, reasonable suspicion is too general a principle to be clearly established for purposes of review under S1983.  As there was no caselaw holding that a refusal to produce identification on school grounds was not grounds for reasonable suspicion, grant of immunity was proper.

Dissent: specificity refers to the law, not to the factual situation.
