In Nieves v. Bartlett, a divided court ruled that individuals can’t sue police officers for retaliatory arrest if those officers had probable cause to arrest them for any crime, no matter how minor

...if the police has probable cause to arrest you, then speaking against them shouldn't give u immunity either. I think this case is more complicated then it's made to appear since the laws should be enforced equally.
