What Are Civil Rights Violations?

Civil rights are the fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. These include protection against discrimination, abuse of power by government officials, and other forms of injustice. Violations of civil rights occur when those in authority overstep their bounds, causing harm to individuals or groups. Some common civil rights violations include:

  • Police Misconduct: This includes excessive force, wrongful arrests, racial profiling, and illegal searches or seizures.
  • Unlawful Arrests: Arrests made without proper cause or due process are violations of your constitutional rights.
  • Illegal Traffic Stops: Police must have probable cause or reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop. Police may not extend the length of a traffic stop to look for other crimes without justification.
  • Discrimination: Any form of discrimination based on race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin is a civil rights violation.
  • Prisoner Rights Violations: Inmates are entitled to humane treatment while in custody. Any mistreatment or abuse by prison officials is a violation of their civil rights.
  • Free Speech Violations: Government entities cannot infringe on your right to free speech, protest, or assembly, as protected by the First Amendment.

Civil Rights Cases We Handle

At Kosloski Law, PLLC, we handle a wide range of civil rights cases and stand up for individuals who have suffered due to abuses of power. Some of the key areas we specialize in include:

1. Police Brutality and Excessive Force

Law enforcement officers are expected to serve and protect the public, but when they abuse their authority, the consequences can be severe. We represent clients who have suffered injuries or loss due to police brutality, excessive force, or misuse of power. If you’ve been harmed by police misconduct, we’ll fight to hold those responsible accountable.

2. Wrongful Arrest and False Imprisonment

Being wrongfully arrested or detained without due cause is a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights. If you’ve been subjected to an unlawful arrest or detention, we can help you seek justice and compensation for the harm done to you.

3. Racial Profiling

Racial profiling by law enforcement is not only illegal but also deeply damaging to individuals and communities. We stand up against racial discrimination and work to hold police departments and other government agencies accountable for biased actions that violate civil rights.

4. First Amendment Violations

Your right to free speech and assembly is protected by the Constitution. If a government official or law enforcement officer has infringed upon your ability to peacefully protest, express your views, or exercise your religious freedom, you have legal recourse. Kosloski Law, PLLC, is committed to protecting your First Amendment rights.

5. Discrimination Cases

Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics can happen in various settings, including the workplace, public accommodations, housing, and education. If you’ve been the victim of unlawful discrimination, we will fight to protect your rights and seek justice on your behalf.

6. Prisoner Rights Violations

Even individuals who are incarcerated have the right to humane treatment. If you or a loved one has been subjected to inhumane conditions, abuse, or neglect while in custody, we can help you hold those responsible accountable.
