Is there a violation of the fourth amendment where the arrest of a civilian stems from an illegal traffic stop - a traffic stop without either probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred or justified by specific articulable facts sufficient to give rise to a reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct - where the officer's activation of his emergency lights led to the purported crime of fleeing and eluding said illegal traffic stop in violation of Florida Statutes § 316.1935? The purported crime of fleeing and eluding in violation of Florida Statutes § 316.1935 is what gave the arresting officer arguable and actual probable cause for the civilian's arrest, entitling the arresting officer to qualified immunity.

Can a civilian defend himself from a law enforcement officer's excessive use of force during an arrest in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983?
