Call Internal Affairs if it is local.   If it is federal cal Office of Internal Audit.  Unless it is a supervisor or higher.  If that is the case you are wasting your breath.  In the last two days I have placed two calls to OIA regarding two different FOS's of the Border Patrol.  Nothing was done.  As a matter of fact they were called on their cell phones and given a "heads up".  so just be careful.  The federal will be very vindictive.  They wanted to know what station my husband worked out of.  They were more concerned with that then the supervisors breaking policy.

It doesn't sound like you have a case. Police officers acting under color of law can't be held liable unless they violate your civil rights, and it doesn't sound like they did. They had a reasonable belief that there was a warrant for your arrest, as incorrect as that belief was.

Law makers make laws. Policeman enforce laws. They are not the same thing.

stop the policeman giving you a ticket for speeding.\n\nI'm sure we will all find this useful.

It was already too late to do anything pre-emptive by the time you let them get to your bumper.  The best thing you could do would be to put your car in reverse and back up to get a safe distance from them THEN get out of your car, pull your weapon and give your orders to return to their vehicle or to lie flat on the ground.  If they continue to come towards you, give a warning shot.  If they are ordinary citizens that should be more than enough to encourage them to comply and return to their vehicle, if not, then you are fully justified in shooting one of them.  However, it should be enough to shoot one, then re-issue your commands. The officers number one priority is his/her own safety.  Never forget that!

I agree with the first answer. Get a Lawyer. The P.O. is just a cop wanna be who flunked out. Sounds like he's got an attitude. Cops & P.O.'s don't always know the law, that's why you need a Lawyer.

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.

There are alot of laws that give a police officer the power to arrest you. Those laws are mainly there for peolple that get out of control. It is up to the officer to decide if ones actions warrant arrest depending on the situation and that persons attitude. I was lighting fireworks with my kids the day after 4th of july because their cousins missed my fireworks show the night of the 4th. The police showed up, wanted to know why I was lighting fireworks and asked me to stop. Fireworks (at leat the ones I was shooting off) was illegal. I could have been arrested without them asking me for a explanation and certainly been arrested had I not complied.

Uh, thats not aggrevating an officer.  I think you are allowed to aggrevate them as much as you want, as long as you arent obstructing them.  But what you described is pretty serious, expect some jail time, before being deported.

I don't know the story but, the only thing we can do is offer support to our law enforcement officers.  Many people feel as you do but their voices are unheard.  If someone tries to run over an officer, his or her hands must not be tied by PC.  Whoever a crimminal is, should be handled as such reguardless of background or income.

He's not breaking the law.\n\nYou can change lawyers.\n\nHowever, if you feel that he is not actually doing anything then you can contact his Professional Organisation to check what the formal grievance procedure is.

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.
