So its ok to sue the S.O. and take taxpayers money? But don't sue an individual officer over civil rights violations, albeit, every officer in the S.O. does not violate civil rights.
I don't care what your title is. If you screw up, you PERSONALLY should be held
responsible for
your own actions. If Officers are held personally accountable for their negligence of the law, then they might think twice before violating someones rights. As a firefighter paramedic, if I screw up and found myself negligent in a death of a patient. Do you think I personally would not get sued? My financial life would be ruined and I accept that fact of my career, if I screw up. Hence why I follow my laws to the T and back everything up with thorough documentation. (not "Flowery"
