Exactly. The Bill of Rights was specifically put in place to protect the people from the state due to tyranny in Great Britain. Nowhere in the constitution can I find statements on law enforcement as a goal (except treason), nor can I find the term balance, nor compelling state interest. Judges have illegally legislated these things into existence. If the people want these things we will amend the constitution.
@mgelliott1 maybe .morons should stop electing "Law and Order" judges then. All that stupidity means is "no matter what? I side with cops and prosecutors"
Well the guy the country just voted in, promised elevating from qualified to total and complete immunity for cops, so I guess most American voters feel corrupt cops deserve immunity
It’s not a choice. Civil Rights trumps safety EVERY time! You can be free or you can be safe but you can’t always have both. You can always be Free, but you won’t always be safe and if you always want to be safe you will never be Free.
Uhm… I thought the Supreme Court ruled that “Protect and Serve” was just PR. Therefor the choice between that and preserving Civil Rights would be far from “untenable”. Just sayin’.
They did and even this guy is not on the "everything cops say is a lie no exceptions" THEY ARE NEVER ON YOUR SIDE, just every one in a blue moon, you might be on their side by accident and don't get corrupt action against you
Everything they say is not necessarily a lie. But the Supreme Court said it's ok for them to lie. I think the Supreme court should have term limits applied on it.
You're correct on that point! But I wonder if they'd still feel that way if officers and judges nationwide started getting offed in record numbers?? Say via snipers...Would they still feel immunity was the answer to keep the scale of justice tipped in their favor??? Cause that's what it's gonna take to right the ship! Just my opinion...
How did the U.S. Supreme Court come to overlook the reason for the States demanding the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments before they were willing to ratify the Constitution of the united States? The Founders had come from places or suffered here under corrupt officials sought to disarm, harm, use their words or lack of words against citizens.
The police can not protect people all of the time. People have to learn to be self-sufficient enough to keep safe since law enforcement has no duty to act or protect them.
This flies in the face of their previous decisions saying that police are not required to protect or serve, only enforce. If they arent required to protect or serve, then its not a decision between "protect and serve" and civil rights protection. Its only choosing to disregard civil rights.
I think we've seen enough videos of these criminal cops in action and the courts supporting them. The courts of injustice. Qualified immunity needs to be tossed and cops should have to face the same justice as everybody else but first we need to clean the courtrooms of these criminal judges
The police are the strong arm of the judicial system. Their job is to find and arrest some accused of a crime, someone who is commiting a crime. They are not supposed judge a person. That is for a judge and/or jury to decide. However, there are some bad apples in that barrel. They have been known to taint fellow officers, and while some people disagree on, some people beg to be slammed in the can by really showing their 6 if they get stopped for a traffic violation. Be polite, and courteous. If you refuse to take a breatalizer test, in some states, you will be arrested, taken to a hospital for a blood test, and at the very least, have your plans for that day ruined. If you want to argue, do it on the courtroom, not on the side of a road. Believe it or not, if you get stopped for drunk driving, reckless driving, or worse, that police officer stops you, it is for the safety of you, and everyone on that road. So he/she is serving you by stopping you, and protecting both you and other travelers simultaneously. A person is supposed to exercise ordinary care when operating any vehicle. Passengers in his/her vehicle? The driver must use extra ordinary care. I drive a car, and my rusty old pickup. I love to ride motorcycles too. It is not cool to drive anything on the roads at maniac speeds. In some emergencies, maybe. But not just for attention.
@jacoblecoy3700 No one ever completes the sentence. One bad apple spoils the bunch. The bad apple is the people in charge of police. They work in favor of the rich, not us. Look at how many people in Tennessee get DUIs, despite being proven to be sober. Good cops mean shit if the leaders are corrupt.
Forget "Rule of Law", it's "Rule of Lawyers"... with the Legislature and Courts giving the Executive/Law Enforcement agencies carte blanche to do as they please via civil asset forfeiture & qualified immunity (& no requirement to defend/protect).
Total and complete trust that cops will always follow the rules and never get unlawful or false confessions? Sounds like the system is working exactly as intended
Unlike some people here, I don't believe we should end qualified immunity. However, I do believe it should be changed from having to show proof to have it revoked, to having to show proof that it should be exercised. The reason being that there ARE cases where, without qualified immunity, officers would be discouraged from upholding the law for fear of the kind of malicious lawsuits that destroy a person's life, family, and career. Therefore, rather than eliminating the protection for all officers, keep it as an option while simultaneously removing it as a blanket.
Does anyone understand qualified immunity? Anyone? It ONLY exists when the cops are acting within the scope of their authority. This lawyer is absolutely wrong again. No judges don’t believe a cop won’t everything do anything wrong. That’s why when they do, qualified immunity doesn’t protect them. You absolutely know this as a lawyer and are choosing to hide it from your viewers. As far as the 1984 case, you forgot it was a rape suspect who tossed his gun in a public store and there was a fear children would find it. The only question asked was to find the gun for the imminent danger to our children. No other questions asked. People really get mad at the cops yet judges and prosecutors have ABSOLUTE immunity and are the ones who make the rules. The cops are literally following the rules in this case. They don’t follow them and people are upset but it they do follow them people are upset. Change the law but until then, the cops in this case obeyed the law while the suspected rapist exposed a child to picking up a gun. Great job as always misleading your viewers.
Further proof of legislating from the bench ... even Though Constitutional Laws and Rights Are Supreme Laws of The Land... and protect and serve is Not a Constitutional Right even in another case demonstrated your immediate protection need is officers choice & not required... Rights is Supreme Laws of The Land Safety Is & Can Never be Guaranteed

I know for a fact cops will break the law for their own ends. I have seen it personally. Now, to be fair, I knew the folks I'm referring to, but they still did it. If you are supposed to uphold the laws of this country and the constitution, then you too should be held if not as much accountable, if not more than the average citizen.
Just like judicially immunity qualified immunity is unconstitutional. But the courts have to support qualified immunity if they're going to support judicially immunity. No there's something to be said if there are operating within the boundaries of the Constitution but if they're not then the burden of proof needs to be on the defense to prove that they are entitled to qualified immunity that they are not violating the Constitution or the law when they behaved badly.

Are you able to explain this in a different perspective? Like how the police / judge would see it? You make a lot of sense in the video (which I appreciate) just feels bias the way it’s explained.
Agree. In the moment investigations are not the same as the state initiating criminal cases against someone. This dude is biased as hell and relies on emotional responses from the viewers rather than on rational explanations.
Can we get a video that describes what action will revoke an officers qualified immunity? I’ve been searching and I can’t get anything other than stories about court cases where it was or wasn’t revoked. Never an answer as to why.
Qualified immunity should be unconstitutional and eliminated. It makes it tooceasy to trupm up any kind of charges against you. It's ok even if they lie or trick you.
Protecting and serving, safeguarding civil rights can both be done at the same time. I AM going to be and git in trouble more for what I am about to say, more and more what I hear and see some people in power are working to turn this country into the U. S. S. R. of North America patterned after the old Soviet Union or a North American version of China, or North Korea.
That was my biggest hang up on Trump and ultimately why I didn’t vote at all. One was a cop who helps people in jail past their release dates for the money, and the other is trying to keep qualified immunity for all cops. When you think about it, qualified immunity is just admitting “I don’t understand the law” which is fine for a teacher or nurse, but not a cop.
