But I do read Groklaw ;-) I believe what he was trying to say was that by acknowledging that the ordinances are in violation that they would be estopped (meaning precluded in this case) from claiming any kind of immunity.
Will that save you the ride downtown? -- No
Will it cause the prosecutor to nolle it ? -- Probably not, in for a penny . . .
Will it help later when the victim is shooting for damages? -- I should hope so but you will have to ask your lawyer
One might wonder if they were to do that, and a skilled lawyer was able to peel back the veil, could criminal charges be pursued against counsel/police/prosecutor ?
I am probably way off base legally speaking but throwing my thinking out there sometimes results in a much appreciated education.
Bring criminal charges against the Counsel,police,prosecutor would be a tough sell however filing a civil complaint for Malicious Prosecution could possibly be achieved.
For any Constitutional rights violations seek redress under U.S.C.A. 42 section 1983.
