The invisible shield: how activists and lawmakers are breaking down qualified immunity, Part 3

Laws to eliminate qualified immunity as a defense were proposed almost as soon as the doctrine became a significant shield that protects law enforcement officers from being sued by those whose federal constitutional rights they violate. Though created by the Supreme Court over two decades ago to limit the liability of state officials under federal civil rights laws, federal lawmakers have always retained the power to limit or abolish it altogether. And state and local lawmakers have also had the ability to adopt analogous state or local civil rights laws that restrict the defense of qualified immunity but decades of tough-on-crime policies, combined with increasingly powerful police unions, made reform seemingly impossible.
