Can you sue the cop for acting "under color of law" ? There has to be consequences.
Yes, absolutely. They don't get to hide behind unconstitutional orders. They are personally liable. Get their badge number and record everything.
Why's this downvoted? Isn't personal liability the entire point of making each one swear an oath?
not downvoted. Dashes in username.
It's up now, might've just been people doing their usual rounds. Definitely seems like there's less bootlicking here than there was on Reddit, thankfully.
I thought qualified immunity made it pretty much impossible to sue a police officer. My opinion after reading /r/bad_cop_no_donut for a few years is that cops can pretty much do whatever they want as long as they don’t make their bosses angry - and even then they still get away with it half the time. And when they don’t get away with it they will get a far lighter punishment than other people who commit the same offense.
Civil rights violations are federal and police are personally liable.... Part of dismantling the Democrats Jim crow laws
I didn't say you wouldn't have to deal with activist judges, because you most certainly will.
Yes you can. Precedent has been set in US 1983.

What we are seeing now maybe unprecedented though, mass violation is civil rights.
