News Stories About Qualified Immunity

William Baude

I’ve been talking to reporters lately about qualified immunity. Here are a few of the stories:

Thomas Harrison, Courthouse News, New House Bill Would Revoke ‘Qualified Immunity’ For Police (I discuss a more modest good faith defense that I would support)

Madison Pauly, Mother Jones, ‘Qualified Immunity’ Gives Abusive Cops A Free Pass. Will The Supreme Court End It? (I’m quoted on the difference between legislative and judicial change)

Amber McKinney, Bill Donahue, and Alex Lawson, Law360 Podcast, Why Are Cops (Sort Of) Above The Law?, here’s a permalink to the iTunes version. (I spent fifteen minutes talking to them about what’s going on with qualified immunity)
