Petition Summary
Seeks to limit when police officers may be shielded from liability for excessive force under the federal “qualified immunity” defense. Requires officers found guilty of excessive force be fired and barred from future service. Requires officers report, and intervene to stop, use of excessive force by other officers. Requires use of body cameras during all on-duty interactions with public, and online posting of all incident recordings. Requires 20 percent of police departments’ budgets and on-duty officer time be used for training.
Fiscal Impact
Increased state and local government costs, which could reach the billions of dollars annually, primarily related to the use of body cameras and increased use of force training
