Police Brutality

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unwarranted search and seizure. Law enforcement officers must have probable cause to search you and your property, including your vehicle. If you are walking down the street minding your own business, and have no outstanding arrest warrants, the police do not have the right to stop and search you.
If you are at home, and the police want to search your it, they will usually need a valid search warrant.

This type of Police Brutality occurs when officers take someone into custody without an arrest warrant or probable cause. If you have been arrested because the police believe you have information that can help them on another case, your civil rights have been violated, and you have the right to take legal action against the department.

This is one of the most abhorrent forms of Police Brutality. You should understand that if you are in the custody of an officer, then you are incapable of giving your consent to any sexual encounter. If you give in to the sexual advances of an officer in exchange for your release, the officer has technically committed rape, and the department can be held legally liable.

While you are in police custody, they are responsible for your safety and welfare. The denial of needed medical care is a form of Police Brutality. It is a violation of your Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
