Well unless by public you mean the public sector of the economy and their property, then yes they’re specifically intended to protect that (alongside private infrastructure owned by their lobbyists and benefactors) at the cost of everyone else.

Police should have to carry professional insurance just like doctors carry malpractice insurance.

Change my mind.

They’d have to work a week of overtime to afford the sky high cost.

I don’t think it will work at all. I think it would make the problem much worse, not better.

Think about that for a second: Police are never convicted, and rarely officially sanctioned. They always get away with it. Insurance will never pay out, so the cost of insuring officers will be next to nothing.

But, now we have an insurer with a vested interest in clearing the officer of wrongdoing, lest they be forced to pay a claim.

We have a insurer with a vested interest in ensuring the officer doesn’t fuck up in the first place. Insurers don’t want claims at all, because whether they win or lose thats still money being spent, albeit more in the latter case.

Rates would go up due to the numerous claims against Officer McShooty (even if defended) and he wouldn’t be able to afford it. He goes to another department? If they have insurance he’s still in the system so…
