Supreme Court restricts private suits over police shoplifting labels
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 3 that publicly labeling someone an active shoplifter by police, based on unproven claims, does not by itself violate due process or privacy. Dissenters were Justices Brennan Marshall and White. The decision stemmed from Edward Davis III’s suit over a 1972 Louisville police flyer.
