The following excerpt is from Schneider v. City of San Clemente, 125 F.3d 859 (9th Cir. 1997):
Even assuming that the officers did not have reasonable suspicion, the officers are entitled to qualified immunity because a reasonable officer could have believed that the actions in stopping Schneider's car were lawful. See Act Up!/Portland v. Bagley, 988 F.2d 868, 872 (9th Cir.1993).
