2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Qualified immunity shields government officials performing discretionary functions from personal-capacity liability for civil damages under § 1983, insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.... A right is clearly established if the contours of the right are sufficiently clear so that a reasonable officer would have understood, un der the circumstances at hand, that his behavior violated the right.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The concern of the immunity inquiry is to acknowledge that reasonable mistakes can be made as to the legal constraints on particular police conduct. It is sometimes difficult for an officer to determine how the relevant legal doctrine . . . will apply to the factual situation the officer confronts. . . . If the officer's mistake as to what the law requires is reasonable, however, the officer is entitled to the immunity defense.”
