Does anyone know who do you report the police to when they break the law and fabricate lies that hurt people?

What type of laws did they break?  Unless they’ve broken a criminal law, internal affairs can’t do anything.  If you’re talking about a false arrest or getting caught in a sting operation, the best recourse is to appeal the conviction.   Almost 100% of the time the lower courts will side with the police officer, but in the appeals court, the decision often swings toward the plaintiff.\n\nFabricating lies and spreading them with the intention of causing harm to another person is a civil matter.  Slander and libel are difficult to prove.  First you must prove the person is lying, then you must prove they are spreading those lies with the sole intention of hurting you and then you must prove those lies have caused you to lose something i.e.: a job, money, your home, etc.  Call an attorney and see if you have a case, but chances are, you can’t do anything.\n\nIf you have a video tape which contradicts even one sentence of the police report, you should appeal the case in a higher court.  All you have to do is catch them in one little lie to have the whole thing thrown out of court.

Do you mean to the police, or to the people they arrest?

Contact the police, explain your situation, and ask for advice.

If someone breaks the law they can be arrested.  If they haven't broke the law a fake charge can always be made up to arrest them.\n\nCoach

Filing a false police report is in itself a crime.  Contact your local PD and provide all pertinent information. \nThe PD did nothing wrong. They were 'doing their job'. Most officers I know are very perturbed when a false report is filed. \nOnce the issue of filing the false report is established, you can then sue former employer for false arrest.\nThere's also the issue of slander, if these people are willing to provide a statement and appear in court as a witness.\n\nGood luck.

Talk to a local attorney. They usually offer free consultations and can tell you what if anything was wrong with what happened in the situation. If you feel there was something wrong with the situation then maybe there was. If anything maybe you can at least get an apology from the chief of police even if there was nothing legally wrong with the situation.

police is the right authority here. please approach the closest police station to your house/locality. tell them the problem & provide them with details. they will ask u to file a complaint in their register. after that they would probably send some constables to your neighbours to investigate the matter. hopefully seeing the constables, your neighbour changes his attitude & matter gets settled there itself.

I work for a police department and I answer this question every week several times. Yes you have to contact the Police in the town of which the crime occured.

Little tough to understand exactly what you're asking here.\n\nCan someone, working for the police or not, break the law?  Of course they can.  \n\nAre certain people expected *not* to break the law?  Sure.  And informants are one of those people.  I worked in a narcotics task force for three years and worked with plenty of informants.  Did we tell them they weren't supposed to break the law?  Of course we did.  Did they turn right around and break the law anyway?  I imagine so...most of them are addicts or thieves or just plain crooks and have been most of their lives, why would they suddenly stop just because they've signed on with the home team to become a policeman's helper?\n\nI don't know of any laws on this subject per se...ours was a policy issue; we told the informant to quit screwing up.  Certainly Virginia might have a law on that subject but it seems to me (based on 19 years of policing) that it would be awfully difficult to enforce.  \n\nI'd love to know what makes you ask this question.

"Speaking up" is for microphones, TV cameras, letters to the editor, and forums like this.  However, if you report sexual abuse they will investigate, and if sufficient evidence exists will make an arrest.....Unless, of course, the investigating officer is the sexual abuser....In which case you must report it to another officer.

the police put you thru a kangeroo court before anything else... they dont have to be truthfull, their job is to try to find the facts.. stick to your story and call an attorney, they cant do anything and they know it... their just trying scare tactics
