La. Lawmakers nearing compromise on âqualified immunityâ change By Matt Houston | February 23, 2021 at 5:01 PM CST - Updated February 23 at 10:01 PM
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Lawmakers are nearing a compromisethat would limit âqualified immunityâ for law enforcement, a policy that makes it nearly impossible to sue a policeman whoâs hurt someone, even if that officer broke the law.
The stateâs powerful sheriffâs association said Tuesday it was on board with the change that would make it easier to sue for misconduct damages. Under the deal, a person could win a suit without finding a nearly identical incident where another court ruled against another officer.
