21. Bad ruling, but it's not more than it is. Cops will still get in trouble

at work by not mirandizing people as required -- in custody while being interrogated, and failure to mirandize when required will still cause serious problems for prosecutors.

This case says civilians can't sue officers themselves under civil law for money damages. But they can still pursue the municipality.

As for mistrials, they're costly failures for prosecutors and sometimes also judges.
