Police Brutality: A Brief Background
Under the Constitution or federal law, anyone acting under the authority of state law shall not deprive an individual of his or her rights. This statute is known as Section 1983 within Title 42 of the United States Code.
Yet, state laws and union contracts tend to insulate officers from proper accountability through flawed or overly protective procedures, according to Seth Stoughton, a law professor at the University of South Carolina in Columbia who is a former police officer.
The history of police brutality is also filled with stories of imbalance between the officers and the communities they serve. For instance, the African-American demographic made up 24% of those fatally shot by the police as of 2016.
In 2019, police forces killed three people per day in the United States, coming down to a total of almost 1,100 killings.
While these statistics do not mean that this branch of law enforcement is failing to protect the safety and security of individuals, some of them may not be abusing their authority. From killings to minor harm, these acts are known collectively as police brutality.
Legal Claims Arising From Police Brutality
There are some of the most common claims made against the members of law enforcement:
Exсеѕѕіvе Fоrсе
Police officers may apply only the amount of force necessary and proportional to the incident. When a previously aggressive individual has been restrained, or the situation has been diffused, the use of excessive force becomes unnecessary.
At times, cops may grab, hold, kick, or punch a person if they’re armed or resisting arrest. This is called Empty Hand Control, which is one of the graduated methods an officer should use to de-escalate a scenario involving a stop or arrest.
- Physical presence: An officer’s physical presence is enough.
- Verbalization: An officer’s words are enough, usually delivered in a firm but calm, non-threatening way.
- Empty Hand Control: An officer’s physical bodily force is enough. No weapon or equipment is used. They can use soft empty hand techniques like holds or hard empty hand techniques like punches or kicks.
- Less Lethal Methods: If an officer’s empty hands are not enough to subdue a suspect or adversary, they may use non-deadly weapons such as a baton, chemical sprays, Tasers, or police dogs.
- Lethal Force: If an officer believes that a suspect poses a significant threat of death or physical injury, they may discharge their firearm to protect themselves and others.
Excessive force will depend on the reason the police made the arrest, the degree of the threat, whether the suspect was resisting or fleeing arrest, what alternatives were available, and if warnings were given.
Fаlѕе Arrеѕt and False Imрrіѕоnmеnt
False arrest occurs when someone acting pursuant to legal authority takes a person into custody without probable cause or reasonable basis. It may lead to false imprisonment. However, the latter means unlawful confinement, which means to deprive someone of their liberty of movement.
Both false arrest and false imprisonment can be exhibited by a police officer who arrests a citizen without a warrant and locks them up in the county jail. False imprisonment is also applicable to, say, a driver preventing a passenger from departing a vehicle. The driver does not commit false arrest because he or she is not claiming to act under the assumption of legal authority.
Malicious Prоѕесutіоn
This type of claim involves a violation of the victim’s right to liberty according to the Fourteenth Amendment. A police officer began a criminal proceeding against the victim, which then ended without conviction (of the victim). Like false arrest, it occurred with a lack of probable cause.
If this happened to you, you can file for a police brutality lawsuit.
Unrеаѕоnаblе Sеаrсh and Seizure
There are two things a search and seizure by a police officer lacks for it to be an unreasonable search and seizure: a search warrant and probable cause to believe that the evidence of a crime is present.
Failure to Intervene
Liability may extend to an officer who fails to intervene in another officer’s violation of a person’s constitutional rights. Law enforcement officers have a duty to protect from fellow officers in cases of constitutional violations.
