One-Off Episode #1
from The Michigan Constitution Podcast Hosted by Tony Snyder
From time-to-time, I will produce what I will call “One-Off” podcasts, which don’t really address the provisions of the Michigan Constitution…but instead, are cases I think you (the listener) might find interesting to learn about. This podcast is one such case. We’re going to get into the idea of a “Public Duty Doctrine” which is when a police officer will not be held liable for the crimes committed against another person. The theory here is that the police can’t be on the hook for crimes committed by a 3rd party against the victim. The other area of law we will discuss is the governmental immunity doctrine, which gives governmental employees liability protections for actions they did (or did not) take, while performing their responsibilities.
