In a 42-page ruling that is sure to be contentious, a civil court judge effectively blocked the county watchdog from thoroughly investigating deputy gangs that operate within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The Assn. for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs — which filed the suit in May — said requiring its members to reveal ink or submit to interviews would violate the 4th Amendment’s ban on unreasonable searches and the 5th Amendment’s protections against self-incrimination, as well as state labor law.
Absolutely hilarious that the police have a new-found respect for the 4th and 5th amendments.

Rules for thee, warping of the Constitution and Qualified Immunity for me.
