The US Supreme Court heard oral argument today in yet another case where the family of a person killed by police while engaging in extremely reckless, life-endangering conduct claims it is the police's fault rather than the deceased's, and therefore the police (and ultimately the taxpayers) should pay them big bucks.  The transcript in Plumhoff v. Rickard, No. 12-1117, is here.

Adam Liptak reports for the NYT:

The Supreme Court seemed to have little trouble concluding during an unusually one-sided argument on Tuesday that Arkansas police officers who had used deadly force to end a high-speed car chase could not be sued by the family of the driver.
