Lake County Discrimination Attorney
Police Brutality • False Arrest • Illegal Search and Seizure
In the investigation of crimes, police have broad powers to gather evidence and question suspects. However, the U.S. Constitution guarantees fair and humane treatment of citizens and places strict limits on law enforcement. Victims of civil rights violations have the right to sue for damages when those rights are infringed.
