POLICE MISCONDUCT

If an officer has arrested you, detained or held you without probable cause, you may have a civil claim for false arrest.

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is intended to protect the privacy of each individual and every citizen’s right to prevent government intrusion into their personal information, homes, business and property.

Coercive sexual conduct is unwanted sexual activity. An example is being pressured, tricked or threatened to perform a sexual act.

A wrongful conviction is when an individual have been convicted of a crime that they did not commit. This happens due to several reasons such as eye witness misidentification, bad forensic science conducted, false confessions, as well as government misconduct.

Another area of Police Brutality is when law enforcement uses excessive force which could potentially be a civil rights violation.

Police stops may be made when an individual is suspected of DUI or other potential crime activities. However, an unlawful stop occurs when the reasonable suspicion is absent and an arrest is performed.
