Angebote / Angebote:

Qualified Immunity (QI) is a legal principle which Reuters describes as "a nearly failsafe tool to let police brutality go unpunished and deny victims their constitutional rights." Originally intended to protect cops from being sued over good faith mistakes, courts have interpreted QI so broadly that police are shielded from accountability in all but the rarest of circumstances.Above the Law recounts 12 cases in which justice was denied because of QI. At a time when the appalling abuse committed by America's police and criminal justice system is under the spotlight as never before, this is a long overdue indictment of an outrageously unjust legal principle that must be changed.
