Civil immunity for police protection; provide an exception where violations of state constitutional rights are alleged.
SB 2475 would amend Mississippi law to remove civil immunity for police officers and other government employees in police protection roles when a lawsuit alleges violations of state constitutional rights. Currently, these employees are generally shielded from civil lawsuits for actions taken during their duties under Section 11-46-9. The bill specifically creates an exception to this immunity when a claim involves alleged violations of constitutional rights during police protection activities. This change would allow victims of such alleged violations to pursue direct civil claims against officers, rather than being barred by existing immunity protections.
