  • Does qualified immunity actually accomplish what the Supreme Court intended? Kim Norberg and co-host Keith Neely discuss qualified immunity and how it plays out in the real world. IJ Senior Attorney Bob McNamara and data scientist Jason Tiezzi join to discuss Unaccountable, IJ’s new report that examines qualified immunity by the numbers.
    The report uses the largest ever collection of federal appellate cases, covering the 11-year period from 2010 through 2020. It is also the first to use cutting-edge automated techniques to parse thousands of federal circuit court opinions and answer key questions about cases where government defendants claim qualified immunity-what kinds of officials and conduct it protects, its impact on civil rights cases, and whether the doctrine is achieving its aims.

      If a cop violates the same law you violate, they have no qualified immunity for that. Qualified Immunity does not protect the cops against getting arrested if they break the law. I protects them from law suits if they mis-apply the law. If a cop drives drunk and causes an accident, they don't get qualified immunity. If a cop punches their spose, they don't get qualified immunity. Every law that applies to you applies to everyone else in the US and qualified immunity protects no one from breaking the law.

      Qualified Immunity is a red herring, and ending it will not make much difference. Qualified Immunity has nothing to do with whether people face criminal charges or are convicted of a crime. QI only applies to civil litigation. Since the public servants being sued almost never have to pay out of pocket, they do not care about being sued. The taxpayers ultimately foot the bill. If we want real change, we need to have criminal public servants face criminal charges and convictions. That means we need to vote in better prosecutors and district attorneys, who will charge and prosecute criminals in the public sector.

    When cps committing perjury to kidnap our children using deceptive code speak trigger phrase concerns claiming we are concerned on how he will raise children. My concern is how will a cps worker raise their children when multiple perjurous premeditated serial predator deception are done with no remorse, are they going to raise their children as predators to violate innocent families!

One county may receive 50 million a year! One state may have 88 counties times 50 states! I don't have exact data on how much each county gets or correct counties involved!

    SCOTUS had it very close to correct but then messed it up when they started allowing courts to skip step #1
    ----------
    STEP #1 was mandatory after Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 201 (2001) but in 2009,
    SCOTUS mucked it up in Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009) at III :
    "On reconsidering the procedure required in Saucier, we conclude that, while the sequence set forth there is often appropriate, it should no longer be regarded as mandatory. The judges of the district courts and the courts of appeals should be permitted to exercise their sound discretion in deciding which of the two prongs of the qualified immunity analysis should be addressed first in light of the circumstances in the particular case at hand."
    ====
    It is past time to fix that error and return to mandating step #1 for the lower courts.

    The problem is that they do not use all the cases where they were granted qualified immunity, yet ultimately lost the case as precedent. Because each and every case that they are granted it but the state loses is a new situation they should be adding to the list of things that get them denied immunity.

    One approach that I did not hear from IJ is to contrast the injustice which renders the merits of a sometimes severely egregious violation of rights as having zero weight compared to a collective and often weak justifications for public officials to be unencumbered by lawsuits. When such large disparity between the alleged acts and the benefits to the orderly administration of government become so large the concept of qualified immunity should be challenged directly. This is perhaps where legislation comes in. It seems quite reasonable to create laws that direct jurors to consider for example an officer's need to make a split second decision in a chaotic situation, while eliminating qualified immunity otherwise. I predict the long term result will be far fewer lawsuits against officials of all kinds as litigation removes the bad actors and they are replaced by more careful administrators.

    Qualified immunity made it so I can't go after child services after helping my ex that the court ordered to have supervised visits, to kidnap my child for fifteen months child services came to me and said they can't help me get my son back unless they had a case open so I volunteered to have one open in which I had to take drug screens my other kids had to do counciling and constantly having them in my home and showing up to my kids school even though I asked them not to go to there school. I'm fifteen months I got 6 court orders to have him returned. No police would help after a few court orders I started asking the judge to provide law enforcement to assist and explained that I can't get any help from the cops and she won't ever the door or will hide when I would come. The judge started asking the specific township police to assist in the order next he added the sheriff then state police or any agency still nothing. Now the cops in the town knew my ex and kids and acted like they were glad I came home from prison and immediately fined for custody, Dyfs (Devision of Youth and Family Services) was taking my ex's mom who had custody of them to court trying to remove them because it was a drug house with prostitution going on water and electric services being shut off constantly. But at this point they didn't care what I was saying wouldn't even look at the order in telling them specifically asking them to assist. After deciding to Foa all the reports of me going there attempting to get my kid and I requested one from a motel room she oded in with my son there and needed 17 doses of narcan to save her with her mom there as well they refused to give me the report from the motel od but for some reason I was givin one that stated the dyfs worker told the chief that the Mom's mom was supposed to have him so they thought I was upset she wouldn't let me get my visits. They would call the noon emergency number and request officer Becker and another one to show up and threaten me that I had to leave I would be arrested.
