Gotcha.
I think, there are major differences between States.
Have you ever read Thinking in Systems?
The issue I've been seeing is the protections that bring together State legislature on important legal issues have largely been dismantled.
It used to be the Circuit Courts and even the supreme Court worked to set clearer guidelines on recurring important issues. Now it seems there are many times less Supreme Court cases and the Circuit Courts wait for two Circuit courts to disagree before they bump it to the supreme Court.
I don't know everything, but that seems to be what's happened.
The feedback loops are all broken.
Civil immunity was invented by judges. It was never law. We use 'clearly established' cases to counter that, but many of those a recursive and the entire system is broken.
For a case to be clearly established there must be another clearly established case to point to. So it was never meant to work from my understanding.
So Colorado is easily able to do as many Fourth Amendment seizures violations as they like. Until someone gets crypto "Clearly Established" we could be stuck with this.
It would be interesting to see the situation in your State. Not that I wanna pry. Because Utah for instance is very similar, but a Utah flavor of these issues. Same Circuit Court.
Does all this sound crazy?
