Reuters is reporting on another SCARY 6-3 ruling. SCOTUS has given police immunity for failure to inform suspects or witnesses of their Miranda rights. Now while a Miranda violation still cannot be used in court as evidence, the person abused by that lack of being informed cannot sue the officers or department that did not inform them.
This basically makes Miranda useless. If you cannot hold law enforcement accountable for their abuses then there is no point in having any rights at all and we all must submit to a Orwellian police state.

Oh my goodness - cops can't be sued for violating the constitutional rights of arrestees - this is completely new information!
Seriously mate - look at the number of egregious acts committed by cops compared to how often police departments are successfully sued. All this ruling does is codify an already existing state of affairs. It's a yawn.
