112869P.pdf   10/09/2012  Douglas Duane Bahl  v.  City of St. Paul
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2869
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Ross, Author, with Murphy and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Event if the Americans with Disabilities Act 
   applied to a traffic stop, the district court did not err in concluding 
   that under the exigencies of the traffic stop, the police officer who made 
   the stop was not required to honor Bahl's request to communicate by 
   writing; giving Bahl the benefit of all reasonable inferences, no 
   reasonable jury could conclude that the written charge statement he received 
   did not provide him with meaningful access to the service of being notified 
   of the reason for his arrest; further, at that time, written communication 
   was the only auxiliary aid Bahl requested, and the record showed he 
   understood the statement; however, Bahl's post-arrest interview was a service 
   or activity covered by the ADA, and a reasonable jury could find that a 
   public service had been initiated and stopped due to Bahl's disability; the 
   district court erred in granting the City summary judgment on Bahl's claim 
   under the Minnesota Human Rights Act as the City was not entitled to 
   vicarious official immunity as a question existed as to whether the City 
   should be liable for failing to develop and implement an adequate policy for 
   communication-impaired individuals; failure to provide an interpreter to 
   communicate the reasons for Bahl's detention and arrest did not violate 
   the City's duties under Minn. Stat. Sec. 611.32. Judge Murphy, 
   Concurring. Judge Gruender, Concurring.
