I don't have a problem with most of that.
* Police officers carrying out illegal searches would also be granted legal immunity if they were just carrying out orders.
Damn right they should be granted immunity. If I were ordered to do something then got in trouble myself for following my superiors orders i'd be pissed.
Some of it may sound or actually be a bit extreme such as the deportations, but how many people have been deported? If someone was deported and there really was no evidence to support the decision chances are the public would find out about it and be in an uproar. Personally I think the laws are for those "We know they do this but we can't do anything about it" situations. That's one of the police's biggest problems and one of the things i'm looking forward to the least when I become a cop. Knowing for 99.9% certain someone did or is doing something but you have no physical proof so you can't actually do anything about it. =/
