Where can I find information on how to sue a state District Attorney? And city cops?

It sounds like in your particular case, you don't want to sue the individuals, but the District Attorney's office and the Police Department. Individuals are only liable for their conduct in a public office if they knowingly violate someone's civil rights, and it requires a fairly grevious violation of civil rights. The police had to have reasonably known that they were violating a solidified right. Otherwise, they have qualified immunity.\n\nEdit: I wanted to add that the holders of a particular office are only protected from civil litigation, not from being sued to force them to do something they are obligated to do by law, but you would be suing the department really, not the individuals.

Don't bother with the media.  Don't bother with looking for case law.\n\nSpend a few minutes looking around the New York Department of Criminal Justice DCJS Office of Public Safety website at:\n\nhttp://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ops/index.htm\n\nAnd get yourself an education.  It could be that what you're describing is perfectly proper within your state.  If it is, but you still don't think this officer should be working unsupervised, contact the chief of police with your concerns.  Some would suggest that if the chief does not satisfy your frustrations you should go to the governing body for your city (city council, etc), but I don't know how useful that would be.  They will only know what you tell them and what the chief tells them, and who do you think they will believe in the long run?\n\nIf talking to the chief doesn't changes things, I guess it would be best to tell the chief that are you concerned enough that you will take the issue public and will speak with the City Council.  If you actually do that, and see no changes, then I'd say the media is a fair bet.  \n\nI'd check out the website first.  Then I'd talk to the chief if I was still concerned.

Start with your county's District Attorney's Office. They often investigate claims against local officials. Some have a Public Integrity Unit. Good luck!

The first thing you would want to do is write to the Better Business Bureau-Attorney Generals Office within your state.\n\nGive as much details as possible, including photos, receipts, addresses of employment (Other surfing instructors may be doing the same thing to their clients/pupils), etc. \n\nThen get in touch with the District Attorney's Office within your region/county. An undercover operation may be needed to flush out any and all wrong-doing at that place of business. It may be some type of "acceptable" practice at that place of business that needs to be addressed by an authorized criminal investigative body.\n\nNotify the National Organization for Women-N.O.W.- through the phone book or through your church help group. You may want to contact an analyst or physician about the matter or even your local clergy. \n\nDetails and proof are essential as is the strength to follow through with your efforts or else everything you feel and attempt will be lost. Others may have been wrongfully challanged or harmed as well. Chances are, once someone gets the ball rolling, others will step forward and perhaps a class action law suit may be filed.\n\nSeek the advise of an attorney, the Legal Aid Sociaty or the American Civil Liberties Union for court action. You may be the victim of someone who has perpertrated a crime against others as well. You may also contact the press, radio call in shows, t.v. news station or the local print media-newspapers. Try writing a Letter-To-The-Editor to more than one newspaper about the matter.\n\nIt is much easier to win a civil case than it is to win a criminal case against someone. The 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' clause does not apply in a civil case. But, you would still need some satisfying or substantive evidense to proceed in a civil case.\n\nYou may also want to contact John Walsh on AMERICA'S MOST WANTED and ask for some advise and seek out others who may have been wrongfully harmed. The number is 1-800-CRIME-TV.\n\nThe point is, there is no one solution, but a myriad of choices and avenues you can persue. You should not be ashamed of being a victim. The Surfing Instructor is the one who should be ashamed of himself as should the business or employer that hired him. They are the culprits, not your girlfriend. \n\nABOVE ALL...Do Not Go In Fear. Criminals rely upon victims being too frigtened or ashamed to come forward. Seek counsel and/or professional advise, asap.\n\nIf you need any furthur advise or assistance, please get back to me at yahoo messenger, same handle. I am a retired peace officer.\n\nGet 'em....

Wow, sounds horrifying for you.  Sorry.  First, start gathering evidence, everything you have and can get, to substanciate your accusations.  Also, I believe the Public Defender is protected against hold harmless laws, so maybe you can file a complaint through the District Attorney's office? Start researching this through the state website where you live.  There is much information on each State's site.  Begin researching now before your statute of limitations runs out.\nGood luck to you on this difficult battle my friend.

Depending on where the lawsuit was filed, there should be a court clerk's office in the county seat.  That would be a good place to start.  Some of this information can be searched for online by typing in "Blank" County Court into your browser.  If you are lucky, you can search to find the case name and case number.  So far, the resources to find the actual lawsuit papers online is quite limited.  The best thing to do is to do a search online or at the court clerk's office, get the case name and case number, and ask to see the file.  If the location of the Court is some distance from you, you can hire a process server to go to court and search for the records for you.  Be forewarned, most clerks charge anywhere from fifty cents to three dollars a page per copy of these records. \n\nGood luck

Get arrested and you will get to talk to a public defender.\n\nActually, you can look in the yellow pages, and under attorneys and you will find ads for defense attorneys that you can contact anytime.\n\nGood luck.

You don't want to file a lawsuit. You want resolution of the situation. Document what has been done, put in chronological order and attach a letter asking for investigation. CC the heads of appropriate agencies, and perhaps the local DA or head of Family Court as well as the Judge in your case.\n\nBEFORE you send this out, take it to a civil (generalist)  lawyer, pay his hourly rate and ask him to edit /rewrite in better language.  It's your letter, he isn't representing you, simply assisting you in dealing with others.\n\nSuing a state is like nailing jelly to a tree.  Instead,  take some steps that outline the negligence of the state, your attempts to fix and be persistent and polite.

There is an old police saying - "There are two sides to every story, and the truth lies somewhere in between".  Obviously, there is a lot more to this story you haven't explained.  You can't just give generalities, and expect any officer to come up with a solution, let alone, criticize the police officers who handled your situation.  Your first step should be the hiring of an attorney.  Aside from defending you in court, he will be your best counsel in a future course of action.  Second, I think you will be surprised on how reasonably priced the services of a private investigator can be.  His mission is primarily a fact finding one, and can supply your attorney with the necessary information to not only vindicate you, but assist you in prosecuting the low life scum you are talking about.
