Legislative Committee Debates Whether To Remove Qualified Immunity For Maine Police Officers

Members of the Legislature’s Judiciary Committee are considering legislation that would abolish qualified immunity for police officers in Maine. Supporters of the legislation say police have abused qualified immunity and used it to shield themselves from accountability for the abuse of their power as law enforcement officers. “In plain English, this bill will allow people who have their civil rights violated by the unlawful actions of law enforcement to pursue a civil rights claim in superior court,” says independent Rep. Jefferey Evangelos of Friendship, who sponsored one of the bills.
