Blue Wall Crumbling as Second State Ends Qualified Immunity for Bad Cops Published: April 15, 2021 As TFTP reported last month, in an unprecedented move, the New York City Council passed sweeping legislation to go after bad cops by removing qualified immunity, ushering in a new era for police accountability. This move was revolutionary as they were the first major area to make such a drastic change — until now. Going after bad cops is now gaining momentum and this month, New Mexico became the second state in the country to abolish qualified immunity. On Wednesday April 7, Governor Lujan Grisham signed the New Mexico Civil Rights Act into law which ended qualified immunity in the state. It also allows for those who have been wrongfully convicted to go after the ones responsible for their violated rights.
