Our society recognizes that police officers put themselves at risk to protect and serve our communities every day. Accordingly, those officers are granted a great deal of discretion in performing their duties. Abuse of that discretion can cause severe harm to the very citizens the police are charged with defending. Ultimately, our law enforcement officers are answerable to the citizens. It is incumbent upon us to hold our officers responsible for abuses of police power.

The most common police violations of individual constitutional rights are false arrest and police brutality. False arrest can originate from a host of inappropriate police motivations. Officers seeking to meet quotas or achieve promotion may ignore necessary probable cause or target certain ethnic and age groups for arrest based on unacceptable prejudices. The use of excessive force to arrest and detain can result in grievous injury or, in the worst cases, death. 

Everyone, regardless of age, gender, creed or color, has the right to be treated lawfully and respectfully by law enforcement officers and agencies. If New York City police have violated your constitutional rights, you need representation that will hold law enforcement officers accountable for abuses of their authority.
