All governments pretty much have qualified immunity in some form... the degree of that, and the remedies available to the subjects varies widely.
With that said there is a growing movement to limit qualified immunity in the US, since it is generous enough to encourage a lot of abuse.

This 100%. I don’t really think people realize how tight the European standards are. As I understand it, that is partly why at some shops there is a 12 hour rule as opposed to the standard FAA 8. Her blow was her blow but the first thought in my mind was not a ****faced pilot…..it was perhaps someone who miscalculated their departure time. Sadly to the internet news it’s the same thing.

Then a traffic stop or fender bender shouldn’t concern you cruising home from Pancho’s. Not to say there aren’t other routes to a hims eval. Domestic abuse complaint, slugfest with a neighbor, urinating in public, ER treatment as result of injuries/illness for dubious reasons. Disclosing symptomatic depression on form 8500-8.
DUI defense firms typically have little objection representing clients with adequate ability to pay. Get a ride.

That's the fairly rare exception, not the rule. Qualified immunity tends to be the default and you have to prove otherwise.

- Right to Compensation: If you are detained on suspicion of a crime and later acquitted, the charges are dropped, or the preliminary investigation is closed, you may be entitled to compensation. This applies even if you were detained for a short period (e.g., 24 hours) and the arrest warrant is subsequently revoked, according to the International Bar Association.
- Types of Damages: You can claim compensation for various damages resulting from the false arrest or detention, including physical harm, psychological distress, damage to reputation, and economic loss (such as lost wages).
- How to Claim: You can apply for compensation from the Swedish Crime Victim Authority (Brottsoffermyndigheten). You'll need to submit your application within a specific timeframe (generally three years from the relevant event, such as the crime being committed or the preliminary investigation being discontinued).
- Legal Action: In addition to claiming compensation from the state, you might also be able to pursue a civil lawsuit against the state if you're not satisfied with the Prosecutor General's Office decision on your compensation claim, according to EJN.
