Question

question 8 (1 point)
police agency defendants in civil actions generally do not like the \public duty\ doctrine as it is the basis of many plaintiffs successful negligence claims as it allows for satisfaction of the duty of care element owed to the plaintiff by the police agency
true
false

Explanation:

The public duty doctrine typically shields government entities like police agencies from negligence claims by holding that they owe a duty to the general public, not individual plaintiffs. This makes it harder for plaintiffs to establish the duty of care element, so police agencies would favor this doctrine, not dislike it. The statement incorrectly claims they dislike it because it helps plaintiffs, which is the opposite of the doctrine's actual effect.

Answer:

False
