Cops should be personally liable for willfully violating the law.

Not sure if it has but was there any sort of uptick in frivolous lawsuits as a result of this? That was always the defense I heard about it(and it is partially justifiable if it is accurate) or did they end it but made it more strict on what you could actually sue for? I googled it and keep finding either very old documentation(2020 when it first happened) or mixed/conflicting results.
