Florida Police Misconduct Legal Questions

This will all depend on the facts and evidence addressing your interaction with the officer and hopefully some video recording or other objective information. As you umay well imagine, people arrested or detained by police officers ROUTINELY instigate or escalate the issues and then blame the officers when they react. One need only watch an episode of COPS to see this. It will also be helpful if IA finds some misconduct on the part of the officer. YOu will need to retain a lawyer to address this immediately. ...

Seriously? So your husband has a warrant for his arrest and you say he ran and sat on the porch to "wait for them?" really?.....why didnt he just stay where he was and get arrested?.....OH thats right, because people with arrest warrants out on them don't do that, the run away and try to barricade themselves in the house. Lets stop being silly shall we?....if your husband runs from the police when he has a warrant for his arrest, and gets a broken toe, that is perpetrator misconduct NOT police misconduct. ...

Lawyers cannot represent criminal defendants on a contingent fee basis. In your situation, I doubt any competent lawyer would take any potential civil case on a contingent fee basis absent an aquital at trial. Obviously, it sounds like some co-conspirators to a "capping" scheme have implicated you and these can be a huge problem in any civil claim of impropriety. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us at 1-800-922-6442 for a FREE consultation.... Read More

Not likely. There is a Chris Rock video your son should watch relative how NOT to get beat up by the police. One of them is not using profanity and disrespect with the police. There is obviously MUCH more to this story and this is why if your son wants to pursue a civil action against the police, he may have to pay lawyers out of pocket to do so. If you have questions, we provide FREE legal consultations at 1-800-922-6442.... Read More

Absent some criminal issue or some controversy between you and the neighbor, you may just want to apporach him like an adult and discuss withhim why he is doing this?if its a big enough issue, you may need to hire an attorney to help you withaa nusinace action against him or for an injunction....

LOL....this falls into the legal category of "fat chance". Assuming the cop violated FHP policy left and right, this would do nothing to get you a "clean record", if nothing else under the old adage of 2 wrongs dont make a right. If you are going to challenge this, you will have to spend a gooddeal of money hiring a lawyer to challenge the facts which may support that the cops actions were arbitrary, like 107 mph for both riders which is highly unlikely, and may damage his credibility for "pacing" you by showing he just made up a speed beause youwere going "real fast"...

I guess the bigger question is "was your brother staying there or were you coverning for him".  If the cops had a warrant, which it sounds like, there may have been some basis for them to inquire. It doesnt sound like they were looking at misconduct by the children or taking testimony from them as witnesses or anything. It would also matter if there was some coersion of some sort where the kids refused to speak but were forced to somehow and thier ages.... Read More

Sounds like not much to do. If the only witness you brought to court was a "little off" on his testimony, and you didnt bring any of the witnesses you were aware of from your street, the judge beleived them and not you. Witnesses that are left at home and dont show up in court dont exist for legal purposes and are useless, you must ALWAY subpoena people that will help you for court hearings.... Read More
