"Autry presented an affidavit to a magistrate judge falsely swearing that a "true and reliable informant" had bought a small amount of methamphetamine at a residence."

A search warrant was issued based on a false swearing. So, yes, Autry is the one who is being prosecuted in civil rights violations. Without the false information, it is likely that the search warrant would not have been issued.

As for the other officers, unless they also knew that the warrant had been issued based on false information, they have a qualified immunity.

Yup, and proving that they knew would be very, very difficult.

Anyone want to lay odds that they didn't know? I realize that proving this would be impossible unless one of them actually developed a conscience (fat chance) and informed on the others.
