Fighting for Civil Rights: Assistance From A Michigan Discrimination Lawyer

The authorities have an obligation to treat all civilians equally, regardless of race, ethnicity, or any other variable. While the majority of police officers uphold this obligation faithfully, there are some that inevitably violate the civil rights of countless citizens while undermining the legitimacy of the policing system. Marko Law is committed to keeping law enforcement fair, effective, and trustworthy. By holding police officers accountable 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- Do You Have a Case?

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

• Arrest Without Cause- Among the most common claims in false arrest cases is that the 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 witnessed you committing a misdemeanor or felony offense. If we can prove that an officer did not have good reason to think you had committed an offense, that officer is guilty of arresting you without probable cause.
• Excessive Force- If a police 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 apprehend 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 amount of force is reasonable, as well as other key factors in unlawful arrest cases.

We frequently handle a wide range of civil rights actions, including:

• Unlawful arrest and/or wrongful conviction
• Police misconduct and brutality
• Unlawful search and seizures
• Unconstitutional jail conditions
• Hate crimes
• Whistleblower Rights and protection
• Freedom of speech and association violations
• Voter discrimination and illegal elections practices

If you think your civil rights have been violated, we will review your case and masterfully advocate or litigate to protect and preserve those rights.

Have You Been Unlawfully Detained Because of 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 cases. We examine not only the specific conditions of your detention but also the police officer’s background and previous actions. If we locate proof of discrimination, we will do everything in our power to hold accountable the police officer in question.
