[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2692409, member: 13624"] No, I fully expect humans to make mistakes. When we mere mortals make mistakes, though, we're held accountable: civil suits for damages, possibly criminal charges. The professional insurance (malpractice, errors and omissions, etc.) market exists specifically because of this liability. When government agents make mistakes, they're shielded from civil liability by qualified immunity, and criminal liability by "procedures were followed." I'd lay substantial odds that if we did away with qualified immunity, police would be a [I]lot[/I] more careful. I agree entirely with this. I'd also add in liability, with punitive damages for gross negligence, such as not verifying sources. [/QUOTE]
