Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit July 28, 2000, 1999 (John Lauro, Jr. v. Michael Charles, the City of New York and the Police Department of the City of New York)

CALABRESI, Circuit Judge:

May the police constitutionally force an arrested person to undergo a staged “perp walk” for the benefit of the press, when the walk serves no other law enforcement purpose? We hold that such a staged perp walk exacerbates the seizure of the arres-tee unreasonably and therefore violates the Fourth Amendment.
