Alabama proposes bill offering police greater immunity unless reckless or rights are violated.

Alabama lawmakers are considering a bill that would offer clearer legal protection to police officers from civil lawsuits and criminal charges. The bill, proposed by Rep. Rex Reynolds, a former police chief, would protect officers unless they act recklessly or violate someone's constitutional rights. It includes a new pre-trial hearing to determine immunity, and is part of efforts to support law enforcement.
