VENEGAS v. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, No. S113301 (Cal. April 05, 2004)
A county sheriff acts as a law enforcement officer on behalf of the
state, not the county, and thus is absolutely immune from liability

cause of action for unreasonable search and seizure under Civil Code
section 52.1(g), notwithstanding their failure to allege that
defendants acted with discriminatory animus.
