When Are Cops Entitled to Qualified Immunity?

Police officers are not protected from civil liability for their conduct as a police officer, for example for an illegal search and seizure, coercive questioning, causing injuries to a suspect, filing a false police report, etc., when the conduct “shocks the conscience.” This standard naturally depends upon the legal background and understanding of the evaluator of the conduct, so we would prefer a more objective standard.
