А вот здесь сказано, почему: Second, and more important, the Supreme Court's reasoning in upholding the immunity of a public official for malicious prosecution applies whether the argument is framed in terms of public policy or constitutional rights: "When the duty to investigate crime and to institute criminal proceedings is lodged with any public officer, it is for the best interests of the community as a whole that he be protected from harassment in the performance of that duty. The efficient functioning of our system of law enforcement is dependent largely upon the investigation of crime and [42 Cal. App. 3d 179] the accusation of offenders by properly trained officers. A breakdown of this system at the investigative or accusatory level would wreak untold harm."
Решение, конечно, весьма неоднозначное и очень интересное.
Ну да, частным гражданам нельзя подавать в суд на конкретных исполнителей даже если они нарушили закон, но можно подавать в суд на систему. Нельзя подавать иск на конкретного копа. Можно подавать иски на город, штат, школьный округ, федеральные власти. Система потом может сама наказать исполнителя, от штрафов, увольнений, вплоть до уголовной ответственности.
