of an unconstitutional ordinance where it is patently violative of fundamental constitutional principles or where the officer unlawfully enforces an ordinance in a particularly egregious manner, or in a manner which a reasonable officer would recognize exceeds the bounds of the ordinance, ... even if there is no clear case law declaring the ordinance or the officer's particular conduct unconstitutional.
