Nonsense

Cops have qualified immunity in the US; while there's a larger legal definition of more or less means a cop that can argue they were acting in good faith can break the law and violate constitutional rights isn't going to be punished in any meaningful way.

This is summed up in the very American phrase: you can beat the charge but not the ride. If a cop in the US wants to arrest you, you're spending at least a night in jail. Charges might get dropped in the morning, you might have a valid lawsuit against the department, you might easily win in court, but you will be going to jail if a cop has decided you will be in jail.
