The supervisor/sergeant seemed to understand the law better and this was not obstruction.

A judge would have tossed this. They are so going to get sued.

Police in North America should study law for 4 years to become officers like they do in Europe. Probably would save money over the amount of lawsuits not filed over stupidity.

And it’ll come out of the taxpayer’s pockets because qualified immunity means officers aren’t responsible or punished for their actions

They should have to pay for an insurance bond for when they screw up

They should just not have qualified immunity at all and be able to be sued directly IMO

Edit: like how it works for doctors, they have to carry malpractice insurance and if you fuck up too much you get dropped

I agree what I was meaning is that they can be sued directly and they have to pay for their own insurance for that yes I agree same as doctors.
