    Anyone can be sued for slander. But for any case regarding slander, you need to be able to proof slander. You need to proof that what was said was not true and you will be required to proof the monetary damage it caused you.

    slander is the communication of a press release that makes a declare, expressly said or implied to be actual, that could want to offer a man or woman, agency, product, crew, authorities, or united states a adverse photo. it truly is continually a call for that this declare be pretend and that the e-e book is communicated to someone except the man defamed (the claimant). this does not seem your case

    Absolutely! They are citizens just like everyone else.

    BUT...... an officer working in his/her official capacity, making a report of what someone else TOLD them, or reporting the facts as he/she sees them, probably not. The truth is an absolute defense though. It depends on the circumstances

    Sure, officers are not above the law.

    Not if it's true! (Truth is an absolute defense under the law.)

    If they lied about you in court and you can prove it, they could be charged with purjury.
