At the Law Offices of Pat Brown, our legal team is here for you, ready to fight on your behalf and get the justice you deserve. 

What Is Police Brutality?

Police brutality is often defined as unnecessary and excessive force by a police officer or law enforcement. It is an extreme form of police misconduct and can rise to a civil rights violation. Although there are several examples of police brutality, some of the more common ones include:

False imprisonment and arrest

Malicious prosecution

Use of excessive force

Deliberate indifference such as ignoring a person's medical needs while in custody

Taser abuse

Illegal search and seizures

Use of coercion to obtain a confession

Your Rights Matter

Remember, if the police have stopped you, you have rights, including the right to remain silent and the right not to consent to a search of yourself and your belongings. If you are arrested, you have a right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer. You do not have to explain why, sign anything, or make any decisions without your attorney present. If these rights are not respected, you need to fight for justice.
