Grant was ticketed for speeding three times, two of which were during The Civil War. Not arrested. The last one was in 1872 during his presidency, and he cited section 1983 of the federal code that had just been passed in 1871, that even a sitting president is not above the law.
I stand corrected. Thank you for the added details.
No worries, I just happen to know about that because it came to my attention last year that section 1983, as Congress passed the law, but not as was "copied" into the Federal Register, explicitly outlaws Qualified Immunity.
Here's the entrance to that rabbit hole:
