VICTORY: Today in a huge win at the WA Supreme Court for police accountability, the Court held that the “duty of reasonable care applies with full force to police executing a search warrant.” (Mancini v. Tacoma)
On Jan 5, 2011, #TacomaPD took a woman’s door down with a battering ram, pointed guns at her, and dragged her out of her home barefoot and in her bedclothes and handcuffs. The police had the wrong house. She sued.
Opinion: https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/975833.pdf …
We filed a brief supporting her claim that police owe a duty of reasonable care when carrying out their official duties. The WA Supreme Court agreed.
Justice and police accountability shouldn’t take ten years of litigation and a WA Supreme Court decision. The Legislature must take strong action now to clarify and strengthen the law. Support HB 1310, HB 1202, and SB 5134.
Take action to support these bills and support the lawmakers making this happen:https://www.aclu-wa.org/pages/legislative-center-2021 …
Too bad they can’t garnish the cop’s wages to repay the city for all the costs of the lawsuit. You know like would happen to anyone not a cop.
Every cop should be required to carry their own insurance just like us contractors.
If only we had a Sheriff in Snohomish county that required his Deputies to meet this standard . Oh we can!. #RecallFortney #SnoCoDeservesBetter sign the petition here: http://www.recallfortney.com
