Not sure if I agree with the idea, but it wouldn’t necessarily require changing tort law. Just require that the licensing body also provide liability insurance, as hospitals do for doctors; and “disbar” any police officer who uses anything other than the group-plan insurance to pay out a settlement, or who goes to court. I believe unions already tend to kick out union members who don’t accept union-appointed lawyers and instead attempt to litigate their own cases. This wouldn’t be much of a stretch from that.
