Tony Holt v. City of Chicago, Illinois, et al.

Paid petition · Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, No. 1-22-0400 · judgment June 30, 2022

Question presented

Does the Appellate Court’s bright-line rule on probable cause, which presumes that information from a purported victim is inherently reliable, violate the Supreme Court’s decision in Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983)? Does the Appellate Court’s bright-line rule on probable cause create a circuit split amongst federal and state courts and set Illinois courts at odds with the federal courts regarding the establishment of probable cause?
