Police Brutality and Misconduct Attorneys in Alabama and Georgia
Police Brutality
Police brutality is when an officer uses more force than necessary during an arrest, detention, or interaction. This includes physical violence, verbal abuse, false arrest, racial profiling, and sexual misconduct
Types of Police Misconduct We Handle
Excessive Force
Unjustified use of weapons (guns, batons, tasers), violent arrests, or takedowns can leave victims with lasting trauma. Even if an officer claims to have “good intentions,” force that is unnecessary or disproportionate still violates your rights.
False Arrest and Illegal Searches
If you were arrested without a warrant or probable cause—or your property was searched without proper legal justification—you may have grounds for a false arrest or illegal search claim under the Fourth Amendment.
Racial Profiling
Discriminatory policing practices disproportionately target Black and Hispanic communities in Alabama and Georgia. If you were stopped or searched based on your race or ethnicity, you may be eligible to pursue a claim.
Sexual Harassment and Assault
Sadly, some officers abuse their power to harass or assault individuals in custody or on duty. These cases are serious and deserve immediate legal attention.
How to Prove Police Brutality in Alabama or Georgia
Police misconduct cases are complex. Officers are often given the benefit of the doubt, so you need strong evidence to show that their actions violated your rights. Helpful evidence may include:
- Body cam or cellphone video
- Eyewitness statements
- Medical records
- Photographs of injuries
- A history of similar complaints against the officer
