The Judges Gain Bill
Judges gain new immunity for electronic monitoring cases
Judicial immunity concerning electronic monitoring.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, judges could not be sued for most mistakes in electronic monitoring, limiting people's ability to hold them accountable.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could lose a key way to challenge faulty monitoring that harms families, while judges gain extra protection without more oversight.
