[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3554346, member: 43724"] No, getting rid of qualified immunity is making them responsible for actions they didn't take. They are still responsible for their actions, as evidenced by how many officers we see put on trial and how many police departments are taken to court in civil suits. How the hell can a cop do his/her job if they have the threat of a civil suit against them anytime they pull over some media maligned segment of society? Cop: "I pulled you over for doing 60 in a residential...." <insert minority here> : I'm suing you for discrimination! And you know lawyers will line up for that bread line. It will be a tool to reduce the police force, just like they are trying to use civil suits to reduce the amount of gun manufacturers that do business with the public. If you want to make changes to it to make it easier to sue when its clear civil rights have been violated, sure, I can support that. But getting rid of it? That will make cops a target for extortion via civil suits. [/QUOTE]
