Police and government misconduct, whether constitutional violations or negligence, causes harm in many circumstances, including excessive use of force, false arrest, malicious prosecution, mistaken imprisonment, and others. Sometimes the harm results in a serious deprivation of civil liberties including freedom, security from bodily injury, equal protection under the law, and due process to name a few. 

 

To address the harm, federal and state law permit citizen access the judicial system. And although the judicial system cannot undue the harm caused by police and government misconduct, it can hold them legally liable for the harm they caused by providing compensation to fix what can be fixed, help what can be helped, and make up for what cannot be fixed or helped.
