Virginia

2026

The bill lets people sue anyone using government power who violates their rights. Winners can get money, court orders to stop the harm, and their lawyer fees. Juries may add extra damages if the officer hid their face or identity, broke body camera rules, used crowd control gear, drove unmarked or out‑of‑state plates, or ignored court orders. Supervisors can also be sued. Claims must be filed within four years. This aims to boost accountability and deter abuse.
