Qualified Immunity and US Supreme Court
-
The US Supreme Court refused to hear any of the 13 qualified immunity cases.
This will embolden police and government employees to do whatever the fuck they want, regardless if it violates your rights and/or the law in general.
Western legal doctrine says "ignorance of the law is no excuse" but qualified immunity allows for police and government employees to be totally ignorant of the law.
We will keep having shitty police and government in the US (and the west) until qualified immunity ends.
