Police Misconduct

Police Misconduct

Police misconduct refers to inappropriate actions taken by police officers when connected with their official duties. Misconduct by police officers can lead to a miscarriage of justice and sometimes involves discrimination.

While police officers have the authority to stop, search, arrest and imprison persons, there are limits on their powers. If an officer is not properly trained or aware of the law, misconduct can result in the violation of citizens’ rights

Examples of Police Misconduct

  • Police brutality: excessive use of force
  • False imprisonment or arrest
  • Malicious prosecution
  • Violation of civil rights
  • Obtaining evidence illegally
  • Product Liability
  • Deliberate indifference to a known medical condition of a detainee or inmate

Pursuing a case may involve suing a state, county, city, police department or individual officers. This can be difficult as well as intimidating.
