Fighting for Civil Rights: Help From A Michigan Discrimination Attorney

While most police officers maintain this obligation faithfully, there are some that inevitably violate the rights of numerous civilians while undermining the legitimacy of the policing system. Marko Law is committed to keeping law enforcement fair, reliable, and trustworthy. By holding police officers responsible for unlawful arrest, detention, and various other violation situations, we send a message that discriminatory behaviors will not be accepted.

‍Examples of Wrongful or Unlawful Arrest

‍When accusing a police officer of unlawful arrest, it is important to demonstrate that they overstepped their authority in one of the following ways:

• Arrest Without Cause-- One of the most prevalent claims in false arrest cases is that the officer violated your Fourth Amendment rights, which protect against unreasonable search and seizure. To arrest you, a police officer needs to either have a warrant or have observed you committing a misdemeanor or felony crime. If we can verify that an officer did not have good reason to believe you had committed a crime, that officer is guilty of arresting you without probable cause.
• Excessive Force-- If an officer seriously injured you during the apprehension, they are guilty of using excessive force. This charge does not depend upon their purpose for arresting you. Even if they had good reason to apprehend you, they are not warranted in using any level of force to do so.

Marko Law has a clear sense of what constitutes probable cause, what amount of force is reasonable, and various other vital factors in unlawful arrest cases.

‍Have You Been Unlawfully Apprehended Because Of Race Discrimination?

‍While theoretically, all Michiganders are equal under the law, in practice, police and other law enforcement officials regularly make the race a factor in arresting, detaining, and prosecuting civilians. Marko Law pays close attention to racial discrimination claims. We analyze not only the particular conditions of your detention but also the officer's history and past actions. If we locate evidence of discrimination, we will do everything in our power to hold accountable the officer in question.
