SCOTUS ruled last December Federal law allows suing government agents who violate Constitutional rights.

Cities should start suing on behalf of their citizens.

But it has to be previously defined in case law or something that is considered defacto through an egregious violation, right?

On a side note, do you know of any case law that shows that leaving a charge stand when you know it is false (no detention/custody) is a violation of Constitutional rights? I have a situation that this would be useful for.
