Police Misconduct
Police Brutality
Police officers have extensive authority to carry out their tasks. However, the Constitution and other laws limit how far police officers can go in seeking to execute the law. When there is misconduct, the victim can have recourse under state laws. Attorney fees and compensatory and punitive damages are allowed under civil rights statutes as incentives for harmed parties to assert their rights.
Have your civil rights been infringed upon or you have been the victim of police misconduct? Remember, wrongful arrests, excessive use of force, or being singled out due to being of a particular race or ethnicity counts as misconduct on the part of the police.

FAQs
No. Although various rules may apply in different countries and situations, the plain reality is that anybody who uses the authority bestowed upon them at whatever level of government to violate a person’s civil rights is breaching the law. And the individual damaged by the infraction may be able to sue for restitution.
What if the police just made a mistake and did not intend to do harm? Should I still file a lawsuit?
First and foremost, you have incurred injury for which you must be reimbursed, and frequently the only option to do so is through legal action. Second, holding law enforcement liable is the most effective means we’ve found of pushing governments to spend more on law enforcement training and processes. Your lawsuit may not only bring you the money you deserve, but it may also help your whole community.
It is important. Because various rules apply to different situations and jurisdictions, misconduct by an FBI agent is treated differently from misconduct by a local police officer. But one thing is constant: civil rights breaches are wrong, and people who experience them have the right to seek reparation.
