A legal shield keeps many police lawsuits out
Why this matters now
When people are injured or killed during police encounters, families often look to the courts for answers. Qualified immunity can stop cases early, even when harm is severe.
When accountability feels out of reach, trust in law enforcement drops. Communities most affected can include Black and Brown communities, people with disabilities, and others who face higher risks during police interactions.
What's blocking progress
Police unions and law enforcement lobbies argue ending qualified immunity would bring too many lawsuits and weaken policing. In Congress, the issue has stalled, and the Supreme Court has not moved to revisit the doctrine.
