Colorado already has limited qualified immunity

Under Colorado Senate Bill 20-217, qualified immunity is not a defense to the civil action, and officers may be liable for up to $25,000 for knowingly unlawful actions. If the peace officer's employer determines the officer did not act upon a good faith and reasonable belief that the action was lawful, then the peace officer is personally liable for 5 percent of the judgment (up to $25,000). A public entity does not have to indemnify a peace officer if the peace officer was convicted of a criminal violation for the conduct from which the claim arises.
