James King loosely fit the description of the fugitive that officers Todd Allen and Douglas Brownback were looking for. A lot of men would.

Their search was for a white man in his mid-20s, between 5-foot-10 and 6-foot-3, with a thin build, glasses and dark hair. The clearest photo that Allen and Brownback had of their subject was from a driver’s license issued seven years prior.

The mistaken seizure of King along a street in Grand Rapids, Mich., in the summer of 2014 led to a severe beating, a lawsuit and, as of Monday, a Supreme Court case.
The justices will consider next term the complicated legal rules that come into play when someone seeks compensation for alleged unconstitutional behavior by law enforcement. In King’s case, there was additional complexity involving state and federal law — Allen worked for the Grand Rapids Police and was on a joint task force with Brownback, a special agent with the FBI.
A federal appeals court in Cincinnati said King’s lawsuit could proceed. But the federal government asked the Supreme Court to review and reverse that decision.
King is represented by the libertarian Institute for Justice, which said King brought two kinds of lawsuits because he was uncertain of the officers’ status as joint agents. One brought constitutional claims against Allen and Brownback. The other was against the government, under a statute called the Federal Tort Claims Act.
