When Tayvin Galanakis, then 19, was pulled over by police in Newton, Iowa in 2022 for leaving his high beams on, officers suspected he might be under the influence. Galanakis eventually did a breath test, which registered no alcohol in his system. Despite that, the officers arrested him anyway. Now a judge has ruled the city and officers cannot use qualified immunity as a defense in a civil case Galanakis filed against them. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks it all down with Chauncey Moudling, the chief prosecuting attorney and legal counsel for Jefferson County, Iowa.
