To Protect and to Serve II

Court: Black man's arrest for refusing to show ID improperp
While the judges were unanimous that the traffic stop was constitutionally flawed, it's less clear whether the officers can be held liable and Wingate can receive damages. The judges ruled that the deputies are at least partially immune from being sued because they were operating under a good-faith belief that the statute gave them the right to demand identification.

A civilian cannot use ignorance of the law as an excuse. An LEOโ€™s good faith belief absolves them. Blue privilege.
