If a policeman tries to arrest you for something that you think is
unconstitutional, you don’t have the right to shoot him, or even threaten
to shoot him. You will likely be punished if you shoot him or threaten to
shoot him even if it is subsequently agreed in court (in a case separate
from your criminal trial) that the policeman was acting on laws that were
unconstitutional.
