waiver of immunity

Read a random definition: inspection right

A quick definition of waiver of immunity:

Waiver of immunity is when someone gives up their right to remain silent and testify in a legal case. Immunity means being protected from punishment or legal action. There are different types of immunity, like diplomatic immunity for foreign officials and parental immunity for parents not being sued by their children. In some cases, the government can grant immunity to someone in exchange for their testimony in a criminal case. When someone waives their immunity, they are giving up their protection and agreeing to testify.

A more thorough explanation:

Waiver of immunity is the act of giving up the right against self-incrimination and proceeding to testify. Immunity means exemption from a duty, liability, or service of process. There are different types of immunity:

For example, a police officer who is sued for using excessive force may claim qualified immunity if they were performing their duties in good faith and did not violate any clearly established constitutional or statutory rights. This means that they cannot be held liable for damages in a civil lawsuit.

Another example is when a witness is granted transactional immunity in exchange for their testimony in a criminal case. This means that they cannot be prosecuted for any event or transaction described in their testimony.

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.

I don't like horror personally but I can deal with this level of horror.
Dkk

Yeah, LeBlanc is all about chains. She imprisoned Mordekaiser which is like way far away from arcane lore but Mordekaiser is like super black metal guy.
Dkk
17:04
He's also from the Shadow Isles which would be really crazy to see in Arcane.
the creator did confirm there will be other shows based in this universe so maybe we'll see all of that stuff in the spinoffs
