Se Habla EspanolForms of Police Abuse and Assault
Police officers receive training that teaches them to set aside their personal biases. This training also focuses on the proper use of power so that it is not abused. Despite their training, it is not uncommon for officers to abuse their power or to act on unjust assumptions. Unfortunately, police assault and brutality often occur as a result. Contact us today for a FREE consulation with an experienced attorney who can inform you of your rights and determine a plan of action.
Common examples of police assault and abuse include:
- Discrimination
- Wrongful search, seizure, or surveillance
- Intimidation
- False arrest
- Sexual abuse
- Wrongful incarceration
- Use of excessive force
- Verbal abuse
“Blue Wall of Silence”
Police officers are known for never speaking out against each other – an unwritten but understood “code of conduct” commonly referred to as the “blue wall of silence.” Since police officers are essentially under the supervision of each other, this “code” tends to make officers feel like they can act without fear of repercussion or disciplinary action by their superiors. Often, the only way victims of police assault and abuse can obtain justice is by filing a legal complaint.
Police Abuse and the Law
No person should suffer unfair treatment at the hands of the police force whose purpose is to serve and protect. If you or a loved one has suffered assault or abuse by a police officer, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your pain, suffering, medical expenses, and more. Contact Ronemus & Vilensky and speak with a lawyer with years of experience fighting for the rights of the abused at the hands of the police and receive the justice you deserve.
