In this section 1983 action Anthony L. Johnson appeals the
grant of summary judgment predicated on qualified immunity
12394 JOHNSON v. CITY OF SEQUIMfor his arrest by the City of Sequim Police Chief Byron Nelson for a violation of Washington's Privacy Act, Wash. Rev.
Code § 9.73.030 (the "Privacy Act"). Because it was clearly
established under Washington law at the time of the arrest that
recording a police officer in the performance of his public
duties was not a violation of the Privacy Act and it was unreasonable for Chief Nelson to believe otherwise, we hold that
the Chief is not entitled to qualified immunity. Moreover,
because Chief Nelson could not have had any reasonable
expectation of privacy in the communications by others over
the police radio dispatch system, which was the basis for his
Privacy Act arrest of Johnson, the arrest violated Johnson's
Fourth Amendment right to be free of arrest without probable
cause. And because Johnson submitted evidence supporting
his claim of Monell liability against the City, summary judgment was not warranted on any ground relied upon by the district court. We therefore reverse and remand for further
proceedings.
