What Are the Elements of a Police Brutality Claim?

The law protects all citizens from violence at the hands of government officials, including police officers and prison guards. A police brutality claim is based upon the law enforcement officer using excessive force under the circumstances. This means the officer is only permitted to use as much physical force as is required to control the situation. Thus, when you are in a simple traffic stop or when you stop and voluntarily surrender to the police, no physical force should be required. Let an experienced civil rights attorney review the circumstances surrounding your incident and help you determine if you have a claim for police brutality.
