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?

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED ON THAT PREMISE.
I call BS!!!!!!!
This is so wrong, we are loosing more of our rights, thank-you Obummer and the Supreme Court, guess we need a new judge in there!
That is the most MORONIC thing I have ever heard!!!!!!!!
If they don’t know the law get them off the force. PERIOD! !!!
Ignorance is no excuse.
Semantics will get you out sometimes….
But if your really worried about civil rights, how come no one talks about George W. Bush’s lovely Patriot Act, where a citizen Can be detained indefinitely without due process.
I have the cons$#%&!@*ution and bill of rights by the door. Read them and WEEP $#%&!@*HOLES.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse! Ask any judge!
The Supreme Court needs to think again – since when has ignorance of the law been a valid defence ??
