Yup, and is typically the case there are explicit carve outs in the law for law enforcement for possession, etc. ‘in the course of their duties’ (Florida 893.06(2), 893.09(5), among others).

That second carve out making them immune to both civil and criminal penalties (talk about immunity!) is especially generous.
But as noted, in the eyes of the legislature there has to be or it would literally be impossible for them to do their jobs. And hey, it wasn’t that long ago you had literal machine gun shootouts [https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/mac-10-submachine-gun/462788 https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/mac-10-submachine-gun...]. “The two assassins returned to the van and liberally sprayed the parking lot and surrounding shops with gunfire apparently just for meanness.”

No cop is going anywhere near that insanity without near blanket immunity.
You have to go pretty above and beyond to have the courts slap you down like this in that kind of environment. Like manufacturing your own crack, apparently.

Well, after three years of it. And then when the court says "No, don't do that any more, and erase the records of the people that were arrested and/or convicted by that" you can sit on that for three decades saying "Eh, maybe we will, maybe we won't, depends on how we feel" before it gets pushed at all.
