It would seem such outcomes could also be strengthened if cops were personally bonded and not having the right to, -is it sovereign immunity?- leave the employing governmental entity on the hook for reckless actions by LEOs. If cops had to face the prospect of personally being held both civilly and criminally liable it seems this would go a long way toward curbing unlawful behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-70642262063270547122015-03-03T09:56:50.759-06:002015-03-03T09:56:50.759-06:00this and go after our ridiculous PI law..this and go after our ridiculous PI law..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-52425143294416558662015-03-03T09:24:50.344-06:002015-03-03T09:24:50.344-06:00Despite appearing to be a goofy go nowhere bill,

When the legality of a particular stop or search is something that gets litigated and argued about at the highest levels of our courts, that is not something that we should "litigate" on the street. To do so is to invite bodily injury or death. That is not to say just roll over an let the State do its worst to you. But fight in court, don't waive your rights, insist on challenging the stop in a hearing. That's where the fight should be. Not in the middle of the street in the middle of the night.
