Lawmakers are pushing for reforms to prevent police officers from benefiting from legal immunity when they create false evidence, act dishonestly, or fail in their duties. The proposed changes aim to address concerns over accountability in cases where officers may have compromised the integrity of investigations. Critics argue that current protections allow misconduct to go unchecked, raising questions about public trust in law enforcement. The debate highlights tensions between upholding police authority and ensuring justice for victims of wrongdoing.
MPs are seeking to stop immunity applying when police fabricate evidence or are dishonest or negligent.
