On Wednesday KSU alum Jeremy Platt of Clark & Platt, CHTD. discusses the types of force used by police officers, and how much force is acceptable under the Constitution. From mere physical presence to lethal force; what are police permitted under the Constitution? This talk touches on:
Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
and
Tenth Amendment 
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
