Fighting for Civil Rights:

Help From a Michigan Discrimination Lawyer

The police have a responsibility to treat all people equally, regardless of race, ethnicity, or any other variable. While most police officers maintain this responsibility diligently, there are some who often violate the rights of countless citizens while undermining the legitimacy of the policing system. Marko Law is dedicated to keeping police fair, reliable, and trustworthy. By holding officers responsible in unlawful arrest, apprehension, and various other violation situations, we send a message that discriminatory behaviors will not be tolerated.

‍Examples of Wrongful or Unlawful Arrest

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

• Arrest Without Cause- Among the most prevalent claims in false arrest cases is that the police officer violated your Fourth Amendment rights, which protect against unreasonable search and seizure. To apprehend you, a police officer needs to either have a warrant or have observed you committing a misdemeanor or felony offense. If we can prove that a police officer did not have good reason to think you had committed an offense, that police officer is guilty of arresting you without probable cause.
• Excessive Force- If an officer seriously hurt 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 arrest you, they are not warranted in using any level of force to do so.

Marko Law has a clear sense of what establishes probable cause, what level of force is reasonable, as well as various other vital factors in unlawful arrest cases. We frequently handle a wide range of civil rights cases, consisting of:

• Unlawful arrest and/or wrongful conviction
• Law enforcement misconduct and brutality
• Unlawful search and seizures
• Unconstitutional jail conditions
• Hate crimes
• Whistleblower legal rights and protection
• Freedom of speech and association infractions
• Voter discrimination and unlawful elections practices

If you think your civil rights have been violated, we will examine your claim and skillfully advocate or litigate to protect and preserve those rights.
