Question

to sue a police officer successfully under the provisions of section 1983, a plaintiff must be able to successfully counter and overcome the defense that the conduct of the police did not reach the level of significance to violate the constitution
true
false

Explanation:

Section 1983 of the U.S. Code allows suits for violations of constitutional rights by government actors like police. A core element of such a claim is proving the officer's conduct violated the plaintiff's constitutional rights. If the defense argues the conduct was not significant enough to violate the Constitution, the plaintiff must successfully counter this by showing the conduct did cross that threshold to win the case.

Answer:

True
