Fighting for Civil Rights:

Help from a Michigan Discrimination Lawyer‍

The authorities have an obligation to treat all civilians equally, regardless of race, ethnicity, or any other factor. While most police officers uphold this obligation faithfully, there are some who inevitably violate the rights of countless civilians while undermining the legitimacy of the policing system. Marko Law is dedicated to keeping law enforcement fair, reliable, and trustworthy. By holding police officers accountable in unlawful arrest, apprehension, and various other violation situations, we send a message that discriminatory actions will not be accepted.

‍Examples of Wrongful or Unlawful Arrest

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

• Arrest Without Cause- One of 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 detain you, a police officer must either have a warrant or have observed you committing a misdemeanor or felony criminal offense. If we can prove that an officer did not have good reason to believe you had committed a criminal offense, that 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 intention for arresting you. Even if they had good reason to detain you, they are not justified in using any amount of force to do so.

Marko Law has a clear sense of what constitutes probable cause, what level of force is reasonable, and various other crucial factors in unlawful arrest cases. We regularly handle a wide variety of civil rights actions, including:

• Unlawful arrest and/or wrongful conviction
• Police misconduct and brutality
• Unlawful search and seizures
• Unconstitutional jail conditions
• Hate crimes

• Voter discrimination and illegal elections practices

If you think your civil rights have been violated, we will investigate your claim and skillfully advocate or litigate to protect and maintain those rights'
