> Have you ever heard of a decision (e.g., Grigg) being legitimately referred to as “ **a** law” before? That’s what I was specifically responding to.

Grigg is a decision regarding the application of the 4th amendment, correct? Per the supremacy clause, the Constitution is the “supreme law of the land”.

So, when someone says the police flagrantly disregard the law, and you say “What law?” it should be reasonable to say the “supreme law of the land” aka the Constitution.
