Call your representatives. Demand qualified immunity (and civil forfeiture) be eliminated.

It cannot be eliminated by legislation. It arises from a SCOTUS decision, and can only be undone by them (at least in the broadest sense).

That isn't how it works. Of course it can be done through legislation. That is how the branches balance each other.

The Supreme Court has ruled on this subject. The Congress can pass a new law but it is unlikely to stand up in court. The existing case law on this is pretty well established.
We need a constitutional amendment.
