- Clubber 3y agoThere's a movement to remove qualified immunity and it's slowly gaining traction. These four states have abolished it: Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico. https://ij.org/issues/project-on-immunity-and-accountability/frequently-asked-questions-about-ending-qualified-immunity https://ij.org/issues/project-on-immunity-and-accountability... >How well informed about enforcing the law would they become? I would say it would help. The reason bad cops misbehave is they have no accountability for doing so. It's not unlike refusing to punishing a biting child. Qualified Immunity is a good example of legislating from the bench.
