This video introduces qualified immunity. Qualified immunity shields government officials, including police officers, from civil liability for their actions in the course of performing their work. While the immunity is not absolute, officials are generally exempt from liability except in extreme cases such as where they act incompetently or intentionally. If officials act improperly as a result of a reasonable mistake of law or fact, they will still be shielded from liability.
