Our nation is undergoing a crisis of confidence in law enforcement. Gallup reported last summer that, for the first time in the history of its polling, a majority of Americans do not have faith in the police. This plummeting confidence is fueled by the fact that police officers are rarely held accountable when they commit misconduct, and that lack of accountability is largely the product of qualified immunity a judicial doctrine that shields public officials from civil liability, even when they break the law. But New Mexico took a huge step toward correcting this crisis this past Wednesday when Gov. Lujan Grisham signed into law HB 4, otherwise known as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act. This landmark piece of legislation permits citizens to sue any public official who violates their constitutional rights, and it specifically provides that qualified immunity is not a defense.
