WHAT IS
QUALIFIED
IMMUNITY?
Qualified immunity is a judicially created legal principle that protects
state and local government officials from being sued for their actions
in civil court. First developed by the U.S. Supreme Court during the 1960s,
the application of qualified immunity has been criticized by those who say
it allows for and even encourages the use of excessive force by police.
