Answer to Question 1

The three elements an officer-defendant in a state tort case must prove to establish
official immunity are: (1) the act performed was a discretionary act, for example
when an officer decides to arrest a suspect for a minor offense (2) the officer acted
in good faith, for example making an arrest without a warrant on the reasonable
belief that the suspect would otherwise flee and (3) the officer acted within the
scope of authority, for example an officer serving a search warrant.
