Examples of Police Misconduct in California

Police misconduct is unfortunately all too common in California. Police officers may violate your rights in a number of ways during a given interaction. For example, police misconduct may begin in their attempts to apprehend you, such as by detaining you unlawfully, entering your home without a warrant, or arresting you without probable cause. Police officers or Sheriff’s Deputies might also use an excessive or unreasonable amount of force while arresting you, causing serious injuries. For example, police may:

• Use a weapon, such as a gun, baton, or taser, when it is not required by the situation
• Using force in an arbitrary and unreasonable manner that is not intended to achieve a legitimate objective but rather is intended to exploit or punish
• Make a false arrest that is not supported by probable cause
• Commit perjury when testifying against you in a criminal case
• Planting false evidence to ensure that you are charged and convicted
• Racial profiling when making traffic stops and arrests
