If the line I read says “illegal” search, then what the court is saying, is that citizens have no right to resist with force, but if the search takes place illegally,and without a warrant,you could still sue the crap out of the city or county that the police worked for?
IANAL, but yes.
It doesn’t say, “Open season on searching!”
Of course, this doesn't address the fact that an already illegal action, being taken under color of law, affords the offending police officer the widest possible latitude to “arrange” the particulars so as to provide themselves with a plausible defense against such a suit.
That means "lie" to save their own ass....
That's what they're saying. AFTER the illegal break in - IF we survive, and IF we have the money, we can sue.
This Marine didn't live to sue
