In yet another huge blow to our Constitution, the Supreme Court ruled in Jan 2015 that a police officer can violate your 4th Amendment rights if they make a ‘reasonable’ mistake regarding the law.
If you are ignorant of the law, that is no excuse, but if a cop is ignorant of the law, he can violate your rights.
As incredible as it sounds, any cop can ‘play dumb’ and proceed to do anything he wants to you and feel secure that his excuse of ignorance will shield him.
How in the hell can a cop be expected to uphold the law if he doesn’t even know the law?

What happened to EQUALITY. THE PEOPLE are required to know ALL the 1,000,000 laws and regulations. Is the court ENCOURAGING the requirement of STUPID cops?
Actually, ALL police officers swear an oath at least verbally, as do politicians and judges. The penalty of VIOLATING their oath is …….another blot on their soul.
Can u say Lawsuit??
If they don’t know the law they should be fired!
More liberal bullshlt. No one’s accountable anywhere in our government anymore.
stupidity is no excuse, if they dont know the law, they shouldnt be a cop
just remind them the fourth amendment is the law
No way, if they don’t know the law my 9 will teach it to them rather quickly.
The SCOTUS doesn’t have the right to allow any one to be above the law
They are saying shoot them then tell them you didn’t know that was a law you broke
