Right. And even if we did all have civil rights lawyers on retainer, it still would not matter. The courts have decided that in almost all circumstances, federal agents have immunity for their actions, no matter how horrible. Torture? Assault? Sure thing, it’s all covered, your lawsuit will fail.
Heck, your lawyer already knows it will fail, so they won’t even file it.
That’s reality. There are no checks on federal agents, unless it’s identical to the one single case on file, Bivens. So you gotta pray that you live in Brooklyn and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics raids your house without a warrant. If that’s you, then you will win your lawsuit. Any other situation and you’re just fucked.
