Abstract

The article discusses the court case of Grant v. City of Philadelphia, where Michael Grant, also known as "Philly Jesus," has been detained by Philadelphia police officers during the Christmas Village. It is noted that Grant brought a Fourth Amendment claim against the officers and a claim of municipal liability against the City. It discusses whether the detention was a "custodial arrest" or an "investigative stop," as well as the reasons for the police officers actions.
