The First Amendment Protects the right to pray but it is not absolute
•
“There are clearly circumstances in which a police officer may lawfully
•
prevent a person from praying at particular time and place. For example, if

an officer places a suspect under arrest and orders the suspect to enter a
LLRMI - DEMO LLRMI - DEMO LLRMI - DEMO LLRMI - DEMO LLRMI - DEMO LLRMI - DEMO
police vehicle for transportation to jail, the suspect does not have a right to
delay that trip by insisting on first engaging in conduct that, at another time

would be protected by the First Amendment.”

•
If an officer orders a subject to stop praying during an investigation, the

officer’s action implicates the Fourth Amendment.

Where an officer makes an arrest in a home based on conduct in the home,
•
the validity of the officer’s entry will always be scrutinized and may impact

the validity of the arrest.
