What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I am a correctional officer in Texas. I have a question regarding Qualified immunity to an action brought under the Section 1983 [42 USC Section 1983]:
I know that I as a state public servant can have a Section 1983 suit brought against me. My question is: what would have to happen for me to not have qualified immunity. I think that the reasonable person doctrine is applied as a test for the immunity? what exactly is the "reasonable person doctrine "
