What state are you in??

What I found out was that what the so-called "deputy" did was a HUGE mistake on his part.
Which part?

And if he did make a "mistake," how does that help your defense?

In fact, he made so many mistakes on that call, I can' t even remember them all. They're all written down. And yes, they are all in serious trouble, including the criminal because he has is NOT supposed to even own a firearm and the "deputy" was supposed to search him as is usual procedure, and didn't because he KNEW the guy is a dangerous criminal and is AFRAID OF HIM!! Now they're ALL getting the shit sued out of them!!
I know of no state with a law that mandates an officer search anyone. So, that part is not a problem.

What mistakes he made I cannot say as I was not there. However, I can think of few mistakes that would be unlawful on the deputy's part based on the scenario you provided. His mistakes or omissions might lead to a great amount of reasonable doubt for the defense, but they are unlikely to be sufficient to support a lawsuit against the agency. But, if you have the money to pay an attorney and can find an attorney willing to take the matter on, well, it's your money.

Now, why is the neighbor not supposed to have a gun? Surely, it's not simply because he's not white.
