If we can get it to the SCOTUS, they may overturn QI. The law in question got copied wrong when they copied it from the congressional record into the federal register. Had the 1982 court been handed the law as passed, the 16 word clause that got omitted would have caused Harlow v Fitzgerald to go the other way.
Hand them the original text, and they’ll have to overturn that decision.
It’s devastating that this is one of only a few times cops might actually be held accountable.

This supreme court? I wouldn’t count on it.
