Police Misconduct

Police Misconduct

At Louis C. Fiabane our dedicated team of civil rights attorneys is committed to combating police brutality and misconduct in New York City. When law enforcement officers abuse their power, use excessive force, or violate an individual’s constitutional rights, it is crucial to hold them accountable.

Types of Police Misconduct Claims

Our experienced NYC police misconduct lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:

  • Excessive Force: Instances of excessive use of force during arrests or detentions

  • False Arrests: Unlawful detentions and false arrests

  • Illegal Searches: Unauthorized searches and seizures

  • Racial Profiling: Discriminatory policing practices and racial profiling

  • Negligent Security: Failure to intervene or report misconduct by other officers

  • Evidence Fabrication: Fabrication of evidence or providing false testimony

Establishing Police Liability

To prove liability in a police misconduct case, we must demonstrate that the officer’s actions violated the victim’s constitutional rights. This could include the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment or the right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. We may also need to show that the officer acted with deliberate indifference or reckless disregard for the victim’s rights.
