        In that scenario – where the warrant info is wrong but not obviously defective on its face – the courts have held police are entitled to rely on the warrant because a "disinterested" magistrate issued it Even when it was issued based on info the police provided 2/2 @rscholtz

        From over here in the UK, Qualified Immunity is looking like it serves no other purpose than to let the Police be as sloppily clumsy as they want with other people's lives and rushing to the same defense of "Life risking" every time they screw something up.

        Does the solution for this have to come from the judiciary or is a legislative solution needed? It seems to be pretty settled in case law that police can do what they want and they police are going to continue to do whatever they want.

        "f the warrant is issued with the wrong info, the courts say it's the magistrates fault and the police had the right to rely on the warrant" What's the argument if the police provided the info? That the police assumed the magistrate fact-checked it?
