09 Mar Filing A Complaint On A Police Officer That Is Violating Your Rights
While the police protect the public and promote peace and safety in the streets, their authority still has limitations. The people still have rights. The people must abide by the law, but so must the police. And they cannot, in any circumstance, abuse their power over the people.
If you feel like your rights have been violated, you can file a claim. It is not advisable to resist officers in public. Instead, write down everything you remember of the incident. Include the officer’s name, badge, vehicle number, and precinct if you can. Ask witnesses to verify your claims and back you up, and get their contact information as well. If you have injuries, take photos and get medical attention. With this information, you can approach the internal affairs division. They will review your claim and open a case internally to investigate.
If you get arrested, make sure to exercise your Miranda Rights – remain silent and get a lawyer. If you end up needing a bail bonds agent, contact an Fairmont Bail Bonds bail agent, and we’ll get you out of jail as soon as possible so that you can sort this whole situation out.
