Livaccari
BATON ROUGE – The attorney who represents the Louisiana Fraternal Order of Police is cautioning state lawmakers to think twice about doing away with qualified immunity for law enforcement officers.
Donovan Livaccari told the
Louisiana Record that taking away such protections from civil litigation would be a disincentive for people to enter the profession, which typically doesn’t pay high-end salaries.
“I don’t know how it would be a smart decision to choose law enforcement as a profession,” Livaccari said, adding that he knew of no insurance policies that would step in and provide the liability coverage if the government revoked it.
