Prosecutors have even stronger immunity

>Firming up what had long been held as common practice, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976 ruled in Imbler v. Pachtman that prosecutors cannot face civil lawsuits for prosecutorial abuses, no matter how severe
What other job exists on the face of the planet where there's such a strong guarantee and therefore so much moral hazard?
- aspenmayer 6y agoNormally I would consider this off-topic, but prosecutors depend on relationships with law enforcement to try and argue court cases. Corruption and abuses are people problems, as much as institutional problems. It’s important to align incentives toward justice in all areas of the justice system.
