My understanding is that ending qualified immunity would open police officers up to lawsuits around their use of force that they’re currently exempt from today. So, officers risk significant financial damage by choosing to ignore this change if it becomes law.

There has been proposals to have something similar to malpractice insurance, where cops that get sued a lot will have higher rates and will likely be kicked off the force, and good cops would bring the rates down.
