In the U.S., police officers benefit from qualified immunity if their actions in the course of their public employment are objectively reasonable to an officer with the same or similar training and experience. Qualified immunity protects an officer's personal assets. Qualified immunity does not protect the public agency that employs the officer. Without such an immunity, police officers would be constantly defending themselves and their personal assets from civil actions (many of them frivolous) brought by arrested individuals, their families, and activist groups who seek to discourage law enforcement officials from performing their duties. Qualified immunity is not automatic. If an officer acts in a way that is not objectively reasonable, s/he is still subject to civil suits.
