[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2182930, member: 13624"] I think we need to get rid of qualified immunity for government employees. You want to see individual government agents start behaving themselves properly? Hold them [I]personally[/I] accountable for their actions. No multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the county while the agent gets a vacation; make the agent pay [I]personally[/I], out of his own pocket. Bad arrest or seizure? Yup, that's called kidnapping, boys and girls, and it'll get you twenty years. Private citizens get held individually accountable for their actions all the time. Why should government actors--who are imbued with a monopoly on the legal use of force, including deadly force--not have to have even equal accountability? [/QUOTE]
