Plaintiff filed suit for injuries she sustained after rear ending a double-parked, marked police vehicle, alleging negligence. Officers had just completed domestic violence call and were in police vehicle completing their report, and intended to return inside and provide a copy of report to victim. Under Domestic Violence Act, officers had not finished their assignment as to domestic violence call, and thus were still engaged in a course of conduct that was enforcing or executing a law and officers and City were immunized under Tort Immunity Act. (ROCHFORD and HOFFMAN, concurring.)
