§4686.  Immunity not available
1.  Immunity not available.  A defendant in an action brought under section 4682 may 
not claim as a defense or immunity to the action that the defendant did not violate a clearly

officer who allegedly used or threatened to use force or physical violence against the 
aggrieved person;
2. The law enforcement officer was required to receive either preservice law 
enforcement training, basic law enforcement training or in-service law enforcement
