What court case set the precedent for peace officers being granted immunity from civil liability?

The correct choice relates to the case of Milstead v. Kibler, which established important legal principles regarding the immunity of peace officers from civil liability. This case centered around the actions of law enforcement and addressed the circumstances under which officers could be held liable for their conduct while performing their official duties.

Milstead v. Kibler affirmed that police officers have qualified immunity, meaning they cannot be held personally liable for constitutional violations as long as they did not violate a clearly established statutory or constitutional right that a reasonable person would have known. This principle is crucial in maintaining the balance between the need for accountability in law enforcement and the necessity of allowing officers to perform their duties without the constant threat of litigation for their actions taken in the line of duty.

In contrast, the other cases listed have different legal focuses and implications. Graham v. Conner pertains to the use of excessive force and the standard for evaluating police conduct, while Miranda v. Arizona established rights for suspects during police interrogation, and Roe v. Wade deals with issues of reproductive rights. None of these directly address the topics of qualified immunity for peace officers in the same way that Milstead v. Kibler does.
