Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (1952), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court, which held that kidnapping of suspects by State authorities is constitutional. The defendant was tried in Michigan after being abducted by Michigan authorities in Chicago, Illinois. Applying its decision in Ker v. Illinois (1886)—thereby establishing the Ker-Frisbie Doctrine—the Supreme Court upheld the conviction over challenges based on due process and federal kidnapping laws, adopted since Ker and Mahon v. Justice (1888).
