Title 51, Chapter 7, Section 21
( 51-7-21)
If imprisonment is by virtue of a warrant, neither the party who
procured the warrant in good faith nor the officer who executed the
warrant in good faith shall be liable for false imprisonment even if
the warrant is defective in form or is void for lack of
jurisdiction. In such cases, good faith must be determined from the
circumstances. A judicial officer issuing a warrant in good faith
shall not be liable for false imprisonment, provided that, when he
has no jurisdiction, there shall be a presumption against such
officer's good faith. |
