>> Qualified immunity is a shield from civil suits not criminal liability. "generally requires civil rights plaintiffs to show not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case with functionally identical facts." https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/publications/insights-on-law-and-society/volume-21/issue-1/qualified-immunity/ https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/publicat... It's not a crime if there is no precedence; cannot establish precedence because there is no precedent. Sounds like immunity to me; but please, feel free to point me to the high number of court cases of criminal cops held accountable in a court of law. You should also send that to the american bar association; they are clearly wasting their time pursuing criminal justice reform for the complete lack of accountability.
