Eliminate Qualified Immunity in California

The Issue

Qualified Immunity Shields Police Officers and Police Departments from facing charges for their mistakes. If an Officer is an expert on the law, they should not receive preferential treatment for their mistakes when if the average citizen made the same mistake they'd be facing a fine, jail time, or worse. By recalling Qualified Immunity it will hold Peace Officers accountable to the public in which they swore to protect and not hide behind their badge and uniform when performing such egregious actions.
