Those who’ve been arrested still have all the same rights they did before the arrest. However, all too often the police choose to ignore those rights. Abuse of police power is a serious matter that affects people beyond the victim and his or her family. Police brutality, denial of civil rights and other misconduct by police undermines our state and federal Constitution.
Police misconduct can and is criminally prosecuted, but sometimes that’s not possible or not enough. You can also hold the rogue officers accountable through a police misconduct lawsuit as well. Types of misconduct that could be appropriate for a lawsuit include:
Unnecessary use of force
False imprisonment
Illegal searches
Malicious prosecution
In a police misconduct lawsuit, you can win compensation for misconduct by police, loss of your property and any time you spent in jail or prison for crimes you never committed. Perhaps more importantly, you can send a message to police that brutality and civil rights violations won’t be tolerated in your community. At The Law Offices of Andrew C. Laufer, PLLC we give each case the attention it deserves. If you or a loved one has been abused by the police, contact us for a confidential consultation at 917-519-8417. Let us put justice back on your side.
