Suggested new state law, the “common sense and responsible adults” law.

That is, adults in positions of authority are expected to use good judgment, and use the powers granted to them in a responsible manner.

For example, school administrators are authorized to exercise discipline and appropriate punishment over their charges, only contacting the police if a serious misdemeanor or felony has been actually, not subjectively committed. And when police are contacted, they in turn are supposed to use good judgment when considering if there is a need to detain or arrest juveniles. Unless an act resulting in actual harm has taken place, school discipline should be regarded as adequate.

In return for this, if a responsible adult uses reasonable judgment, they should be immune to lawsuit arising from that judgment.
