Definition: có vẻ như hợp pháp.
A more thorough explanation: “Under color of law” refers to the misuse of power, typically by a government official or law enforcement officer, who acts in their official capacity but exceeds or abuses their authority. This term is often used in legal contexts to describe actions that appear to be authorized by law but are actually unlawful.
Example: The police officer acted under colour of law when he conducted an illegal search of the suspect’s vehicle without a warrant.
