Should absolute immunity for prosecutors be ended?

[pleaseclap]

I think its kind of shitty that they are afforded absolute immunity against basically a limitless list of misconduct. With the pressure to secure convictions, it almost seems as if misconduct from prosecutors would be expected.

Below is a list of the types of conduct prosecutors are explicitly granted absolute immunity from:

Falsifying evidence
Coercing witnesses
Soliciting and knowingly sponsoring perjured testimony
Withholding exculpatory evidence and/or evidence of innocence
Introducing evidence known to be illegally seized at trial
Initiating a prosecution in bad faith (in other words, for personal reasons or with knowledge that the individual didn’t commit the crime)

I rarely find myself on the wrong side of the law and certainly never committed a crime that would land me in court with a jury, but if I did, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable about my chances going in with this knowledge.

Absolutely.

Cut their wages 15% while we are at it.

As long as we have liberal judges ZFG on what goes on in a courtroom.

Soros will make up the difference.
