Tennessee v. Garner (1985) is the landmark case where the U.S. Supreme Court set limits on the use of deadly force by law enforcement, ruling that it is not constitutionally permissible for police to use deadly force against a fleeing suspect unless the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.
