Interesting (not really) that there is not a Good Faith Exception for citizens.
"Your honor, I was under the good faith impression that standing on the corner looking menacing was illegal for a police officer to do. I tried to bring him into custody peacefully, but he resisted arrest, so I had no choice but to use deadly force. You can imagine my chagrin when I discovered that there was no such law on the books. Boy was there egg on my face. Anyway, glad we got that cleared up, I'll just be going on paid administrative leave for three months now."
