Plaintiff filed a lawsuit claiming that the law enforcement defendants violated his Fourth Amendment rights when officers detained and cited him for public indecency. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that summary judgment was properly entered for the defendants where the evidence showed they had probable cause. (SCUDDER and ST. EVE, concurring)
