- Does qualified immunity actually accomplish what the Supreme Court intended? Kim Norberg and co-host Keith Neely discuss qualified immunity and how it plays out in the real world. IJ Senior Attorney Bob McNamara and data scientist Jason Tiezzi join to discuss Unaccountable, IJ’s new report that examines qualified immunity by the numbers.
The report uses the largest ever collection of federal appellate cases, covering the 11-year period from 2010 through 2020. It is also the first to use cutting-edge automated techniques to parse thousands of federal circuit court opinions and answer key questions about cases where government defendants claim qualified immunity-what kinds of officials and conduct it protects, its impact on civil rights cases, and whether the doctrine is achieving its aims.

You obviously don’t know what QI is. Go reread the Constitution & your state (& federal) laws because you don’t know what you’re talking about
No, it does not.
Title 18 USC Sections 4, 241, 242, 371, 1951,
Title 42 USC Sections 1983-86.
UCC 1-308
Qualified Immunity, was, is, and will ALWAYS BE, lawless. It is Piracy. TRESPASS, and FRAUD, is what the de facto franchise, THE UNITED STATES SERVICE CORPORATION, has been perpetrating(INVERTING TRUST LAW, F*CKERS!!) since before i was even a twinkle in my father's eye.
If ignorance is not an excuse for the accused, then it's not for the government. They should be held to a HIGHER standard because they have a duty to protect Constitutional rights.
For anything beyond the basic laws about murder and theft and r'ing....ignorance should be an excuse for everyone. We have so many laws that nobody can keep track of them all.
@@Gnomezonbacon The problem is the majority don't know how to tell the difference between tyranny and law. They also don't know what our unalienable rights are. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness(all rights not covered under life and liberty) What that means is we have the right to do or own anything that doesn't violate another persons rights. Anything politicians write down banning an action or possession that doesn't violate someones elses rights isn't law. It's tyranny.
Government workers are trash.
A violation of constitutional rights is *not* protected by qualified immunity. Cops are sued successfully all of the time for violating constitutional rights. They can also face criminal charges, but this is uncommon and usually only occurs in use of excessive force types of cases. It does not matter if the cop knew the law or not from the civil rights perspective. If they mis-apply the law, you can sue them. This video is making that point. People are being arrested for speaking out against the government and that is a clearly established constitutional right. Forcing someone to ID or pulling their walled out of their pocket during a Terry Stop is a clear violation of the 4th amendment. Cops are sued all of the time for constitutional rights violations.
Incapable of comprehending their oath or the constitution before during or since affirmation of their oath, by design from the top down.
SCOTUS majority is criminal, corrupt and illegitimate!
Tyrants despise accountability.
And tyranny always comes in the form of law.
Americans have only themselves to blame for allowing the government to violate their rights instead of fighting back against these tyrants
@@waynebruce5579 False. An easy example otherwise is "tyranny of the masses".
You’re part of the problem, so man up
Qualified immunity is anti-constitutional
Exactly what I came to the comments to say. HOW it can be considered otherwise is unimaginable. The fact that courts and other government officials are working together to violate the rights of the people should also be considered a 'racket' that should be able to be pursued under RICO. SHOULD BE, I know it won't be. The violation itself should be pursued under color of authority laws. LAWS, not doctrines.
🥱Qualified immunity is overrated!
@@sonicgalaxy27 Maybe, but 'officials' everywhere are using it to their advantage.
@@OneWildTurkeyYes as their most secret weapon just to make sure they keep the shield.
Looks like you’re functionally illiterate
A *jury* should decide if the actions of government officials are protected or not.
Blanket immunity is _exactly_ the kind of two-tiered system our Founders were rebelling against.
We were told to take a settlement or our case gets dismissed.
Be part of the problem, no justice, no jury, no fault.
Our case was dismissed by a judge after two years, we didn't agree to a settlement taxable bribe. That's not justice.
'Mock trials' for agents of the king. It's one of the abuses of king george listed in the Declaration of independence. QI is the modern equivalent.

No different than the mock trials for agents of the king listed in the declaration of independence.
@@tina7147Justice no longer exists. What remains in its absence is "Just-Us"
This is gold. All citizens should hear this and the nonsense their gov't pulls.
No government official should be immune from prosecution and possible personal liability when they make egregious decisions that show such bad or corrupt actions that defy reason. This is the same as when corporate officials do things that are so outrageous that they lose the protection of the corporate veil of protection.
I agree that these government officials are no different from We The People.
You should read The Declaration of Independence if you haven't. What our government is doing lines up pretty well with the abuses of king george listed in it. Qualified immunity is the modern day equivalent of 'mock trials' for agents of the king.

We NEED A WHOLE NEW GOVERMENT!! FREE OF CORRUPTION TO SERVE WE THE PEOPLE. FOUR STATES HAVE ABOLISHED QUALIFIED IMMUNITY SO FAR...CHECK IT OUT!
Qualified immunity needs to be ended. Nothing more needs to be said.
Punishment needs to be addressed.
@@OneWildTurkey going forward sure, but grandfathering is a meaningful thing in enforcing laws.
@@DarkHorseSki How about 'qualified' grandfathering. If they're qualified, maybe they can use it. Doing wrong because you expect to be able to get away with it has it's own evil and needs attention.
@@OneWildTurkey I agree. Frankly I believe that government folks, at any level or position, should be held to a higher standard of the laws, not a lesser.
It won’t end, so cope
The concept of qualified immunity before the Supreme Court ruling was if a cop or mayor is doing their job properly they shouldn't be held accountable for following a bad law that someone else passed. Not we stole money or assaulted you and used a law to try to justify it.
Qualified immunity has its basis in the progressive supremacy of government over the people theory of governance.
Why do people who supposedly make, know, and enforce law get to claim they didn't know the law but average citizens that have never studied law get the book thrown at them for violating the same laws?
Haha! You’re approaching this from the assumption that cops KNOW the law? Hahaha…damn, that’s funny! Look at what they’re taught in the academy, as well as any training they’ve had since the academy, it’s almost ZERO when it comes to the law. They’re taught WAY more about how to violate your rights, as opposed to what those right are.
If a cop violates the same law you violate, they have no qualified immunity for that. Qualified Immunity does not protect the cops against getting arrested if they break the law. I protects them from law suits if they mis-apply the law. If a cop drives drunk and causes an accident, they don't get qualified immunity. If a cop punches their spose, they don't get qualified immunity. Every law that applies to you applies to everyone else in the US and qualified immunity protects no one from breaking the law.
@@shenmisheshou7002 You must be a cop to try and shill this hard for them. What you say might be what they say is how things are supposed to work but we all see how things actually work in practice. The courts and justice system are corrupt to the core and protect their own.
@@waynebruce5579 I am not a cop. I just know how Qualified Immunity works, and it does not allow cops to break any laws. If they break a law they can be prosecuted for it. Every day there are stories about cops that broke the law and went to jail. The two cops that arrested Karen Garner both went to jail. The Goon Squad members are in jail. The woman that shot a guy when she thought she was using her taser is in jail. Qualified Immunity only protects cops from mis-application of the law other than clearly established rights, which if they violate, you get to sue them over.
@@waynebruce5579Probably "backs the blue" in more ways than one.
In my opinion it is unconstitutional according to the 14th amendment. And also it never went thru the house and Senate to vote it into law.
On this the supreme court is in part relying(falsely IMHO) on the inherited common law. This is the group of laws and law principles that have been around since well before the revolution that is used when no existing law covers the situation yet the common law does in a way not in clear conflict with other existing law, especially the constitution. However the constitution says nothing about the common law.
So I suspect
If you're qualified, you don't need immunity; if you need immunity, you're not qualified.
Nicely stated
oh I like that
I am totally stealing that! 😂🎉😂
WOW!! Well spoken ❤❤❤❤❤❤

If you are a government official, you should NOT BREAK THE LAW! Qualified immunity is a throwback to nobility! Belong to the right group and you are immune.
End qualified immunity and the Police unions. Time to hold officers accountable for their criminal actions.
Qualified Immunity is a red herring, and ending it will not make much difference. Qualified Immunity has nothing to do with whether people face criminal charges or are convicted of a crime. QI only applies to civil litigation. Since the public servants being sued almost never have to pay out of pocket, they do not care about being sued. The taxpayers ultimately foot the bill. If we want real change, we need to have criminal public servants face criminal charges and convictions. That means we need to vote in better prosecutors and district attorneys, who will charge and prosecute criminals in the public sector.
Pres Biden tried to remove Qualified Immunity. Google
Doctors have liability insurance. Everyone in law enforcement should have a liability insurance policy which is designated as first payer when they cause legal action to be instituted against their employer. This saves the taxpayer from footing the bill for the officer's illegal actions. Sooner than later the bad ones will be out of law enforcement and we can go back to respecting the profession.

George Washimgton and Paul Revere got tired of qualified immunity. Which millions of Americans are thinking the same.
Where civil asset forfeiture, so many laws made against the citizen.
Funny enough, millions of Americans seem to want this, the PATRIOT Act, and many other bs laws and practices and even organizations (e.g. "Intelligence Lead Policing," The TSA, and so on). I wonder if there are any REAL Americans left in these United States. Since, as it appears to me, they're an extinct people - and now all we have left is "New Americans".
@@user-ek9vo2ub9b people know life as they grew up in and accustomed to. They hear things on the news, read it in the papers, they readily buy into whatever is said. Things being made to sound worse than what they were or are.
I saw some congressman wanted some law on something passed making something I forgot what, classified under terrorism. This is where the misuse of these laws only lead us deeper in a whole, growing government too. Where I think, this guy needs to experience terrorism as it is and was known. Where it's a national issue.
I go fishing, here came Homeland security, a white one desiring to be antagonistic, show its hind end. Where we do not need it's type in government.
@Noone-rt6pw Well, apparently, my reply was too much for TH-cam to handle. This proves my point: no real Americans exist anymore, just a country full of willing subjects. No use bothering to tell the truth anymore, since it's just "too much to bear".
Judges and police are the new kings. Sucks for us poor folks.

They are in for a rude sealing at The Great White Judgement Throne !
Well, considering that you can't find a goddamn attorney to take your case, it's like a double. Edged sword with these people. Yeah, they practice civil rights, but no one wants to go up against the government
It's a big club and most of us are not in it. This is the danger of captured industry. Lawyers rely upon being members in good standing with the state Bar. If they buck the system and go against their club members, they soon find their livelihood and reputation being tarnished and canceled. This is why a person who tries to fight a traffic citation, will rarely win. The judge gets paid from the fines. It's a racket.
@@raymondzehrung9274 You can't win against a system full of people monetarily incentivezed to find you guilty.
You need to explain that it's exactly what corporations do when they break the law... NOBODY GOES TO JAIL.
Thanks for your good work guys, citizens need all the help they can get against this kind of thing.
Some animals are more important than others.?????
“More equal than others”
George Orwell?
Everyone in power has immunity.
Police have qualified immunity. Prosecutors and judges have absolute immunity. Sitting presidents have presidential immunity. Senators and representatives have legislative immunity. Basically, our constitutional rights don't mean a damn thing as long as those who are in power can violate our constitutional rights at will and get away with it with no repercussions whatsoever.
You're right. And thus the 2A was written after the Declaration of Independence.
I was told from a county attorney that only the Defendant has due process of law.
Qualified immunity needs to go away for all public servants! Top to bottom.
Public serpents*
Qualified Immunity IS Inequality. Rationalize it all you want, but it is blatant Inequality. You want protection from lawsuits? Take profit/money out of the judicial system. If you're going to work in government and be granted power of people's lives, you should be held to a much higher standard, not lower.
Great Work!!
Providing the basis for protection of our rights..!!
How can judges write into existence of law and then uphold that law that affects them, without being disqualified' for conflict of interest😮
Courts are clown crap. Look at the new york cramp with Trump. Like or hate the dude, he couldn't get done dirtier by the old men in bath robes. 🧑⚖️
Thank you IJ for your hard work in compiling the 'Unaccountable' study. What a colossal undertaking! Yet absolute genius.
I'm loving these podcasts, much appreciated ❤
Rules for thee, but not for me. Typical government Bravo Sierra.

No one should be above the law the only way to clean up this law remove the law and then these lawbreakers will stop breaking the law or face the courts and jail time.
It is NOT LAW. The Supreme Court cannot make law.
The funny thing is that this is NOT even a law. Laws can only be instituted by legislation through Congress. This has not occurred with QI. Instead it was decreed by The Supreme Court, who were NOT imagined, instituted and realized to partake in this process NOR the perceived authority to do so. They are meant to INTERPRET the limitations enshrined within The Constitution as well as weigh the validity of any laws legislated by congress (as well as local and state jurisdictional ordinance, code's and statute's) in consideration of the burden they impose or alleviate for that which is contained within the founding documents of the USA
@@sheepishmclemmingston5550 For what congress legislates to be legitimate though it has to respect our unalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If it does not respect those rights or infringes on them in the name of safety, it's tyranny not law. Too many seem to not be able to distinguish the difference.
The real problem is that the Supreme Court created 'law'. I thought the U.S. Constitution said that laws were created by Congress, and not the Supreme Court ?
It's called tyranny not "law".
The Supreme Court does not "Create" laws. They arbitrate laws and their application. Qualified Immunity is not a "law", it is a judicial doctrine. Being the "Supreme" court in the US, when the "Supreme" court says the lower courts are supposed to handle something in a particular way, they are not creating a law, they are creating judicial doctrine, or instructions to the lower courts on how to behave.
@@shenmisheshou7002 does qualified immunity act just like a law ? A turd, called by any other name is still a turd.
@@shenmisheshou7002 You lack the ability to identify tyranny.
@@shenmisheshou7002It opposes freedom and therefore is unconstitutional. Sovereign immunity is what the colonies fought against. These lawyers are either incompetent or corrupt to bring it back. Fascism has come to the USA.
Qualified immunity is the modern day equivalent to 'mock trials' for agents of the king listed in The Declaration of Independence.
A very recent example of this was the Ray Epps "trial". 🙄
Thanks for going after these law breakers it sounds complicated.
Be Blessed !
Complicated, how complicated is it to understand they subverted the "NO Titles of Nobility" and to call qualified immunity anything other than a title of nobility is just ignorant willful ignorance borderline treachery😡🤬
Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
Oh correction, you need to have a very big financial backing to just get somewhere
Yes, especially when the government, their ilk, police, etc. Have the entire budget at their fingertips to come for you (aka our tax payer dollars) 👀
Their self preservation may just be their achilles
Qualified immunity is not just arbitrary but arbitrary and capricious how it is currently used more like the judges passed on their judicial immunities to the rest of the government officials.
Tyranny: cruel, unreasonable or arbitrary use of power or control.
Good watch. Thanks for the continued work you do 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
When cps committing perjury to kidnap our children using deceptive code speak trigger phrase concerns claiming we are concerned on how he will raise children. My concern is how will a cps worker raise their children when multiple perjurous premeditated serial predator deception are done with no remorse, are they going to raise their children as predators to violate innocent families!
One of the most illegitimate agencies in the United States! Despicable, and there's zero repercussions.
Kidnap, child traffic, kids for cash scheme, look at Pennsylvania or the juvenile "detention centers etc. It's fkn sick.
Look up is cps allowed to lie in court which the answer is yes! So after the first perjury when isn't it now human trafficking with Rico act violations to human traffic our children for federal funding with bloated cases using deception and perjury? One county may receive 50 million a year! One state may have 88 counties times 50 states! I don't have exact data on how much each county gets or correct counties involved! Couldn't we spend that much money on helping our citizens instead of draconian overlords sacrificing our children for cash that paychecks and retirement packages is their prize!
I'm really into the institute for justice. Donate if you can.
Isn't qualified immunity legislation from the bench?
Irrelevant. It is manifestly wrong morally, and violates the letter and the spirit of the founding documents of this nation.

As you were reviewing comments on the previous story, Jack Burton's comment sort of triggered me.
Jack, I'm happy for you that you can trust the government so completely. Good for you. Your belief that the government is benevolent does **NOT** extend to my threshold, and you may **NOT** consent to their actions on my behalf. I reserve all rights endowed by my Creator and enumerated in the Constitution.
I'm covered by qualified immunity at work, but I feel it is one of the few good applications. Ohio carved it out in law for EMS, and protects us from lawsuits so long as we are performing care within our protocols, scope of practice, and without malice. It was only to block frivolous lawsuits against EMS who are acting properly. But no rights are violated by us.
so long as performing care within our protocols
No rights are violated is not exactly true, but I know you don't try to arrest people and take their freedom etc. like cops do.
Just saying from a purely legal perspective and terminology.
Em's quit often follow along with the blueline brotherhood, sorry. Most, work shoulder to should with cops and are often right there with the homies
Interesting.
@@simpinainteasyRHECmaybe, though from what I've seen many hate how the cops interfere with them doing their jobs.
Thanks for the video.
If someone gets appointed to a federal job and all the social accolades coming with it there should be no reasoning be valid anymore to require an extended immunity like the street cops with their few weeks of training could maybe reason for and still cowardly hide behind it while actually knowing better.
How does qualified immunity not put some people above the law? This is why we have a 2A people. Exercise your rights or lose them.

Those people in Boston in 1771 prove there is no place in our country for immunity for anyone.
Qualified, judicial, special, and any other kind needs to be removed. And a true code of ethics needs to installed for SCOTUS
The government official has an immediate right to appeal. This is a two tiered justice system. However, you want to slice it.
Many Thanks to all at Institute for Justice for all the tireless great work that you do. May God bless you!!

CJ grisham gut case with the fifth circuit looking for attorneys to take it to the supreme Court and he is a new attorney
Its not a law, its a handshKe agreement between judges and the people that write the judges checks
Its not a law, but its also not a handshake. That would imply it's less of a problem than it is. Its the courts official stance on how to rule on these cases.
It literally makes government above the people. Why we allow this is baffling.
0:37 - It was a doctrine created by 9 unelected oligarchs. In other words, it wasn't created by "We the people", and is unconstitutional.
Thank you all for all your good work.
When violating rights and/or breaking the law is actually protected by default, then the courts have become the main adversary in the cases instead of being an impartial party. Also, that makes this appear to be a major contributing factor to the dysfunction of justice in the USA.
How does IJ not have 250 MILLION subscribers?? Keep up the great work!!
The government gave itself the ability to commit horrific murder, and crimes to keep the people enslaved without possibly having the slave laws apply to them. I have no idea what anybody’s confused about this.
Qualified immunity is a nightmare for civil liberties. Does it surprise anyone that politicians have little fear passing unconstitutional laws, the only option is voting them out of office, but when most people don't even understand their rights, the deck is stacked in the governments favor.
Where in any constitution (trust indenture) did we the People grant any kind of immunity to our Trustees'?
Thankyou IJ for all you do.
Qualified Immunity must go if we want our rights back. I know I do.
Qualified immunity is one of the most ridiculous concepts ever concocted by government. It's like saying it's okay for a cop to speed in a nonemergency situation, but not rhe rest of us...
Two twin university students was recklessly forced off the highway resulting in their deaths by an Illinois state cop. He got in no trouble at all.
It is appalling, those comissioned to uphold and enforce the law , are not accountable to the law.
Congress needs to take action and clarify this whole thing. The current standard of the Supreme Court -- that you have to have the same set of circumstances to win a case -- is absurd. I'm not a fan of the Courts creating law as they did with Qualified Immunity, but I'll take any forward movement that protects the rights of citizens.
Yes Qualified Immunity works, if you mean keeping the citizens from get some type of justice from corruption in the legal system
SCOTUS had it very close to correct but then messed it up when they started allowing courts to skip step #1
----------
STEP #1 was mandatory after Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 201 (2001) but in 2009,
SCOTUS mucked it up in Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009) at III :
"On reconsidering the procedure required in Saucier, we conclude that, while the sequence set forth there is often appropriate, it should no longer be regarded as mandatory. The judges of the district courts and the courts of appeals should be permitted to exercise their sound discretion in deciding which of the two prongs of the qualified immunity analysis should be addressed first in light of the circumstances in the particular case at hand."
====
It is past time to fix that error and return to mandating step #1 for the lower courts.
U.S. law enforcement and the justice system are exclusive clubs that generally work hand in hand and protect their own from accountability for not respecting the rights of the people. They have all the power and all the weapons and are willing to do whatever is needed to retain the balance of power that makes their lives so priviliged
Can we all join the government? I'd like to have the same rights as my government.
Now compare your data against departments that use lexipol to draft their policies and procedures and the departments who don’t.
Also, an investigation into lexipol is a matter of public interest re: citizens rights and safety and how they de-prioritize it.
This is unconstitutional. Clearly. All persons, no matter their 'job' or 'position' should never be above the law.
Nobody should have qualified immunity be responsible for your self
If civilians can’t have it why should anyone else?
Thank you for all your hard work.
In terms that it shields LEOs who violate citizens' Rights from ANY consequences for their bad acts, it absolutely does. Today, a case is in litigation about a CPS officer who falsified evidence against a mother in order to take her kids away and then claimed qualified immunity. Tell me, in what universe is it ok to falsify evidence?
One approach that I did not hear from IJ is to contrast the injustice which renders the merits of a sometimes severely egregious violation of rights as having zero weight compared to a collective and often weak justifications for public officials to be unencumbered by lawsuits. When such large disparity between the alleged acts and the benefits to the orderly administration of government become so large the concept of qualified immunity should be challenged directly. This is perhaps where legislation comes in. It seems quite reasonable to create laws that direct jurors to consider for example an officer's need to make a split second decision in a chaotic situation, while eliminating qualified immunity otherwise. I predict the long term result will be far fewer lawsuits against officials of all kinds as litigation removes the bad actors and they are replaced by more careful administrators.
All law enforcement must be required to have a college degree the legal aspect of law is to collegiate for a person with a high school diploma
How to sue the US in international court?
keep up the good fight...
A good litmus test for QI would be this: Is the action in question part of the job duties of the defendant? If the answer is Yes, then was the defendant following normal practices and training? OK, that sounds like a legit use of QI. If the answer is No, then QI should not be taking the tires off the wheels of justice. Let the case proceed, because MAYBE the Magna Carta got it right all those many long years ago.
If you're referencing the magna carta you should understand that if the normal job duties, practices or training are violations of our unalienable rights such as our liberty then QI is no excuse. The magna carta was written to say no one is above the laws of god. That means no one has the right to violate our god given rights like our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. These never seem to be taken into account in modern courts.
That would still be better but unfortunately doesn't do anything for the other part of the problem which is shitty protocols with no incentive to change them. That on its own doesn't even force the department to change such policies. Just have shitty/vague policies and they have plausible deniability.
This is an issue with medicine too. If the soc is to assume a woman has anxiety instead of thinking she might be sick- the doctor isn't culpable even if they would have provided better care to different patients. They only recently changed the racist formula that determined who got kidney transplants. Since it was SOC, dead patients families had no recourse even though the formula itself was racist and any reasonable person knew it was racist.
Grandfathered in racist/sexist data is still used for all sorts of things. The bar to make new recommendations is higher than the bar was to initially accept the original data as fact. The result is knowing we were killing more black people via kidney disease than people of other races but having to spend literally 20 years to prove it. Meanwhile patients were continuing to be hurt by it. Doctors had to push it themselves and find funding for an endeavor that wasnt profitable. That shit is fucked up. There needs to be new rules around re examining old racist/sexist data to expedite the process.
Lots of people seem to have qualified immunity in their job positions but I'm questioning the Constitutionality of it. I believe it's unconstitutional.
Great work IJ! Thank you.
Thank you for what you do
Qualified Immunity needs to be ended. Nobody should be punched for saying anything. Police need to be more professional than that. Since police agencies fail to apply professional standards to their employees, the law needs to be able to step in. Qualified Immunity allows tyranny, the authors of the Constitution hated tyranny.
😂 look, I get that the masses are new to this information but your thumbnail and title make it look like YALL just found out about this. 😅
♡Love you so much! 🇺🇲Thank you for your service, this service.💞🥰
One thing QI protects is agencies failure to properly train their employees.
It doesn't protect the people, in a government for the people.
Im exited hearing about data analysis on court data. This approach can provide much needed insights and spark discussions. Here in the Netherlands we have pretty good access to court data.
It’s unconstitutional! I’ll go after it
Thank you for protecting constitution
The people never voted for QI. Why are they subject to its tyranny?
@CrazyKazy The Patriot Act was signed into law by elected legislators, but QI is strictly judicial activism
the fact that qualified immunity only comes into play when a crime has been committed says it all really..
