A legal shield keeps many police lawsuits out
Qualified immunity can block people from suing police officers who violate their rights. This cause focuses on changing state and federal law so serious misconduct can be heard in court. Winning means clearer accountability and stronger incentives for lawful policing.
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.
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.
