Cal. Civ. Code § 32-31-12-7
Law enforcement immunity
Operative Text
Sec. 7. A law enforcement agency or law enforcement officer is immune from civil liability for acting within the scope of the law enforcement agency's or law enforcement officer's duties to enforce a requirement of this chapter.
Indiana Code § 32-31-12-7 establishes that law enforcement agencies and individual officers cannot be held civilly liable when they act within the scope of their official duties to enforce the requirements of Indiana Code chapter 32-31-12. This immunity applies specifically to actions taken in furtherance of that chapter's mandates, not to conduct outside those duties. The provision effectively shields law enforcement from civil lawsuits arising from on-duty enforcement of this particular chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-12-7, landlords and property managers should be aware that law enforcement agencies and officers who carry out enforcement actions related to chapter 32-31-12 are protected from civil liability for those on-duty actions. Compliant operators generally cooperate with law enforcement when officers act within the scope of this chapter, understanding that such officers carry statutory immunity. This immunity does not extend to conduct that falls outside the scope of the chapter's enforcement duties.

Ind. Code § 32-31-12-7 grants civil immunity to law enforcement agencies and officers acting within their duties under chapter 32-31-12, which affects the legal remedies available if a tenant believes an officer acted improperly during enforcement. Tenants who have concerns about whether a specific action fell within or outside the scope of this immunity may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider for general information. Understanding the boundaries of this immunity provision can be an important part of knowing what enforcement-related rights and remedies may still be available under other provisions of law.
