I left Texas 23 years ago for rural Taos county. I never looked back.

It’s worse than that. “Unless a government agent's act is so obviously wrong, in the light of preexisting law, that only a plainly incompetent officer or one who was knowingly violating the law would have done such a thing, the government actor has immunity from suit.” Even if they KNOW it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter. The question is whether the stupidest cop imaginable WOULD have known. Lassiter v. Ala. A&M Univ. Bd. Of Trustees, 28 F.3d 1146, 1149 (11th Cir. 1994)
