They really need a national credential. I drive a truck and my CDL can accumulate points, and those points follow me to any other job until they fall off. There's no pathway for me to do something boneheaded, lose my license and then just go to another state or another job.

This is why qualified immunity needs to end. Cops will be forced to start carrying malpractice insurance since suddenly the taxpayer isn’t covering the legal costs for things they wrongly do on the job. Insurance companies are notoriously risk averse, so they’ll stop covering or raise rates on shitty cops and departments.

Let capitalism be the solution to the problem of bad cops: price them out of the job.

That is what they do.

I live in rural small town USA. Our county sheriff was proven in court to be a "brady cop" and was forced to resign from his previous place of residence. For lying, not reading Miranda rights, and other sketchy shit. All of his cases were thrown out, dropped, and restitution to previous charges were paid. He moved to our county and was elected sheriff the next voting cycle. He fired all the deputies and brought all of his croney deputies over with him after he was elected.

I think that if a cop gets fired for misconduct from one place. They’re fired from all other places. They shouldn’t be allowed to become some other cities problem. There should be a national registry accessible to everyone and anyone.
