Yea, but what people are pissed about is that he was pulled over when he shouldn't have been. This ruling is nothing new like another poster said.
The hipocracy that the government can claim ignorance but the public can't is what is frustrating.
The consent to search was valid and did not violate the Fourth amendment. It was his dumbass fault for consenting.

I get that, but cops make BS stops all the time when the actually know the law. This is one of the few times where the cop wasn't intentionally trying to screw someone.

I don't think they are saying his ignorance excuses anything, I think they are saying that his ignorance doesnt invalidate the search and arrest, which is true because the idiot driver gave consent to search.

Exactly. So as a citizen I have to know the law backwards and forwards as not to break any. But those that are paid to enforce the very same laws just need to have a general understanding of it so as to be deemed "reasonable"
