majority opinion in the 5 to 4 ruling [PDF file of the ruling]
That's right. The conservatives on the court and the "swing vote" Justice Kennedy took away your civil rights giving law enforcement the ability to take you to jail for any real or perceived infraction. The case it is based not only involved wrongful arrest, but the man was strip searched, cavity searched and unable to contact the outside world nor let his status in the penal system be known for SIX DAYS. His infraction? Not DWB [Driving while Black/Brown] but just being in a CAR driven by his WIFE. He had been pulled over so many times that he kept the document explaining the false information of the old warrent for a minor infraction in the past on him for just this reason.
I hope you are good and properly outraged:
The way he was treated
The way his family was treated
The fact 5 unelected people were able to do this.
I say it over and over: Law and Justice are two different animals.
