dual-persona doctrine

A quick definition of dual-persona doctrine:

The dual-persona doctrine is a legal concept that recognizes that an individual can have two separate identities, one as a private citizen and another as a government employee. This means that if a government employee engages in conduct that would be illegal if done as a private citizen, they may not be held liable for that conduct because they were acting in their official capacity as a government employee. Essentially, the doctrine allows for a separation of an individual's personal and professional responsibilities and accountabilities.

A more thorough explanation:

The dual-persona doctrine (DPD) is a legal principle that recognizes that an individual can have two distinct personas, one as a private citizen and another as a government employee. This means that an individual can be held liable for actions taken in their private capacity, even if those actions are related to their government job.

For example, if a police officer uses excessive force while off-duty and not acting in their official capacity, they can still be held accountable for their actions under the DPD. Similarly, if a government contractor engages in fraudulent behavior in their personal life, they can still be held liable for their actions under the DPD.

The DPD is important because it ensures that individuals are held accountable for their actions, regardless of whether they are acting in their private or government capacity. It also helps to maintain the integrity of government institutions by preventing individuals from using their government position to shield themselves from personal liability.
