17 +Thus, the standard is Respecting Moral Agency. Respecting Moral Agency means viewing both oneself and others as capable of making ethically important choices. This is a means-based standard: I look to whether actions are consistent with the goals of moral agency, not whether outcomes increase it.
18 +Prefer this standard, since:
19 +
20 +
21 +1 People need to respect agency to achieve any other goods.

28 +2 Respecting agency recognizes distinct groups’ needs without taking a race- or gender-free approach.

31 +For practical purposes,

36 +I advocate that the United States federal government ought to limit qualified immunity, or “QI,” for police officers.

43 +Advantage 1: Giving Voice to Victims
44 +U.S. police show consistent and overt racism, disproportionately harming Blacks.

52 +
53 +But for decades,
54 +AND
55 +“shall be liable.”
56 +
57 +
58 +By barring victims from suing police, QI denies their status as moral agents. Instead, harming victims becomes just a “cost of doing business.”

72 +
73 +In contrast, the aff gives victims the agency to confront their oppressors themselves.

75 +
76 +As usual, I’ve

80 +And civil suits uniquely recognize that all people deserve their day in court, respecting agency.

82 +
83 +While civil rights

85 + we are now.
86 +
87 +Advantage 2: Destroying Double-Standards
88 +QI gives police an excuse for participating in even the most horrific injustices: like Nazi officers’ Nuremberg defense that they were “just following orders,” police can oppress the innocent and say they were “just doing their job.” Indeed, QI creates a double-standard, letting police get away with acts that would deemed reprehensible if another actor did them.
89 +Heller: Heller, Jacob. J.D. Candidate, Stanford Law School “Abominable Acts.” Vermont Law Review, Vol. 34:311, 2010. LC
90 +
91 +In these cases,

94 +
95 +Indeed, QI sets a precedent that putting on a police hat absolves people of their most basic moral duties.
96 +Grigg: Grigg, William N. Contributor, Pro Libertate “‘Qualified Immunity’ – A License to Commit Criminal Violence?” Pro Libertate, October 2013. RP
97 +
98 +There is no

101 +
102 +Yet moral obligations transcend specific roles, as they come from fundamental humanity; the same basic norms apply to all actors, regardless of who they are.
103 +DeGeorge notes: De George, Richard T. University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Kansas Business Ethics. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, Inc., 1999. CH
104 +
105 +Because people are

108 +
109 +In contrast, the aff exposes police misconduct, calling attention to the agent behind the action.

111 +
112 +Qualified immunity shields

116 +And this is true regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome. What matters is the ability to bring a suit, not the results. Affirming makes that possible.
