Question

question 5 (1 point)
under the \public duty doctrine\ there is often liability placed on police officers because they owe a general duty of care to all members of the general public
true
false

Explanation:

The public duty doctrine holds that police officers generally owe a general duty to the public at large, not a specific duty to individual members of the public. As such, they are not typically held liable for failing to protect a specific individual unless a special relationship exists. The statement incorrectly claims liability is often placed on them due to a general duty of care to all public members.

Answer:

False
