Rounder: that's for civil suits for damages, not a criminal statute.
I like to use Cornell's database to look up federal statutes. Here:
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/h...3----000-.html
TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 21 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1983 Prev | Next
Quote:
§ 1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights
Release date: 2005-02-25
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

I don't think that needs to be on the card, there's already a lot there. There's a thousand things that might come up, but based on the 1st amendment cases, and what I have seen in terms of flyering by NA and other groups over the past six or seven years, these are the major points of which patrolmen need to be reminded.
The 42 USC section 1983 thing you guys should remember for "frosting on the cake."
