Your Government Protects Cops Who Steal
The reasonably dumb cop rule basically says that if a cop was too stupid to realize he was violating your rights, then he can't be sued.
It goes along with the reasonably scared cop rule, which says that a chicken cop who was scared can't be sued for shooting you, even if you did nothing wrong.
