I understand that the law might not take this into account right now, but if cops get some qualified immunity from lawsuits in the course of doing their jobs, it seems a fair trade to me that they should similarly be restricted in some ways from suing members of the public who criticize them in the course of their jobs.
- pc86 3y agoThe first thing I thought when reading the title was that if a police officer sues a citizen in this manner they should immediately and irrevocably lose any qualified immunity status for the same incident. If the PO didn't do anything wrong and they actually do have a case against the person, they should lose nothing by no longer having QI.
