Do I Have A Civil Rights Claim? There are a number of ways that your rights may be violated by law enforcement officers or other actors of the government. Some of these more common crimes include the following.
Excessive Force and Police Brutality
If a police officer uses excessive force, that's a violation of your rights. Police brutality is far too common across the country, but victims of this crime are entitled to have that violation recognized by a court of law. That means you're entitled to compensation. A police officer is only allowed to use the minimum amount of force necessary to arrest you, so if he or she used more than that, you likely have a case. IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICE
