“[Our] . . . holdings suggest that an abatement [of a nuisance] carried out in accordance with procedural due process is reasonable [as to the Fourth Amendment] in the absence of any factors that outweigh governmental interests.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[i]n general, procedural due process requires that a hearing before an impartial decision maker be provided ... prior to a governmental decision which deprives individuals of a liberty or property interest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We think that the Supreme Court’s ruling in Soldal requires more [than a showing that the government provided due process]. To collapse the Fourth Amendment reasonableness standard into the Fourteenth Amendment notice and hearing requirements in all cases is to ignore Soldal . When a Fourth Amendment claim is brought, we need to conduct an independent review of the seizure for reasonableness in addition to any analysis regarding procedural due process.”
