Are You a Victim of False Arrest or Prison Abuse?

 

Legal authority figures do their best to uphold the law. But sometimes, the very officials put in place to protect you physically harm or use too much force when it simply isn’t necessary. Other times, they misuse their legal authority and stop you without justification, perform an illegal search and seizure, physically abuse you while in prison, or even arrest you falsely.

Legal Authorities Have to Obey the Law Too

If you are arrested or detained by an officer, they might put on an air of superiority. While their job is to enforce the law, they have certain legalities and processes they have to follow too. Some types of misconduct police officers or other law enforcement officials may engage in include:

​

• Using excessive force while performing an arrest, whether or not the arrest is legal

• False arrest or false imprisonment without probable cause

• Other misconduct leading to physical or psychological harm

• Unwarranted excessive force, prisoner abuse, or abusive treatment by a prison guard

• Denial of necessary medical treatment towards incarcerated individuals
