More info...Safety Officer Exception: The safety officer exception is designed to protect police officers and fire fighters. The Texas Tort Claims Act does not waive immunity from claims arising from the method of police protection or firefighting.
BTW...Even if the jail violated a law and the family sued, they would never get millions. Their claims would be limited by TX law to a max of $500k:
Sec. 101.023. LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF LIABILITY. (a) Liability of the state government under this chapter is limited to money damages in a maximum amount of $250,000 for each person and $500,000 for each single occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence for injury to or destruction of property.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), liability of a unit of local government under this chapter is limited to money damages in a maximum amount of $100,000 for each person and $300,000 for each single occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence for injury to or destruction of property.
(c) Liability of a municipality under this chapter is limited to money damages in a maximum amount of $250,000 for each person and $500,000 for each single occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence for injury to or destruction of property.
You know as well as I the dead womans family will sue the daylights out of Waller County and other agencies for millions and WIN.
And this will clearly contribute to higher taxes for those folks in Texas....Its not that hard, just admit it.
I like the part where this very unprofessional cop with the heavy badge returns to her vehicle with a signed warning ticket...The stop was all but done. And then the cop demands she put out a cig while she is sitting in her own private vehicle...
This guy intentionally escalated the situation which he used that as an excuse to put this women in a cage.....
This insane incident also made her miss her first day of work on a job...
Looking sharp Texas....
I bet you her family will sue for millions and win.
Wanna bet Tex?
