Maybe Charles can visit with them on this.Charles L. Cotton wrote:When a good faith arrest is made, LEOs have quasi-judicial immunity in a civil case. However, a good faith arrest cannot be made based upon a act that is clearly lawful. Texas law could not be more clear regarding the required notice under TPC §§30.06 and 30.07. The follow up to the "you may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride" attitude is "LEO, you and your agency won't beat the civil suit." Heck, there may even be a Section 1983 action against an officer making such an arrest.
Chas.
I find it very disturbing something like what is being alleged is being said and taught to instructors. It makes it hard to respect a government entity that blatantly disregards the law and makes their own.
