42 U.S.C. 1983! When they DIDN'T find any evidence of bank robbery, the department would be really sweating if you got a good attorney on it.

"Escape of a Fleeing felon" wouldn't hold up in the situation. If someone robs a bank, and they see them bust down the door of a house the can pursue it. If they detain 19 cars, well, self defeating argument there. Even if one is a felon, they already have proven 18 are not. So, less than 5% probable chance of them being a fleeing felon? Not good odds for a department. Win for rights violation if that line was crossed.
You did get my statement
